    What's special

    Formal dining roomFrench doorsHardwood floorsBeautiful original woodworkCustom window coveringsLight-filled solariumUnderground sprinkler system
    Some homes never go out of style, and this classic 1925 Four Square is one of them. Beautiful original woodwork, hardwood floors, an original fireplace with built-in cabinetry, and French doors showcase the craftsmanship that makes these homes so special. The light-filled solarium offers wonderful flexibility as a library, home office, sitting room, or simply a favorite place to unwind. The formal dining room is ready to host everything from holiday gatherings to weeknight dinners, while the adjoining kitchen has been refreshed with updated countertops, backsplash, hardware, paint, and appliances. A main-floor room provides even more flexibility and could easily serve as a fifth bedroom if desired. Upstairs you'll find four spacious bedrooms and an updated full bath, blending modern convenience with the home's original character. The updates continue outside with a detached two-car garage featuring its own electrical panel, EV charging outlet, and additional storage. The backyard offers space to relax on the deck, while the underground sprinkler system helps keep the lawn looking its best. Thoughtful plantings add to the charm, character, and appeal of the outdoor spaces. Over the past few years, owners have thoughtfully improved the home while preserving the features that make it special. Wallpaper has been removed, bathrooms have been updated, custom window coverings have been added, the roof on both the home and garage has been replaced, and numerous additional improvements have already been completed. If you've been waiting for a home with authentic craftsmanship, generous living spaces, and updates already in place, you'll want to see this Elmhurst beauty for yourself.
