This is the one you've been waiting for. A true move-in ready home in coveted Hobson Village, proudly positioned on a prime corner lot. This 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath gem welcomes you with gorgeous curb appeal, enhanced with new James Hardie Board siding, a brick paver walkway, wood retaining wall, mature landscaping, and a desirable side load 2 car garage. Inside, you will appreciate the curated blend of modern, on-trend enhancements: neutral paint, updated lighting and stylish finishes throughout. The beautifully updated, open kitchen showcases a grand quartz-topped island, a natural gathering place for dining, conversation, and culinary creativity. Rich hardwood floors, gleaming granite counters, under cabiniet lighting, stainless steel appliances, a stylish tile backsplash, and white cabinetry with new hardware create a bright, inviting space. A large pantry closet and direct access to the paver patio for effortless alfresco living. The adjacent family room charms with its floor-to-ceiling brick gas fireplace, vaulted ceiling with accent beams, hardwood flooring, and sliding door access to the backyard. A classic dining room with hardwood floors and chair rail connects seamlessly to both the kitchen and family room for formal private dining. The spacious living room, currently used as a playroom, leads to a versatile study/den/mudroom featuring striking herringbone tile flooring, a built-in desk, white wainscoting, exterior access to the backyard, and convenient proximity to the half bath. This flexible space can easily be converted into a first-floor laundry room. All bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on the upper level, highlighted by an expansive primary suite with walk-in closet and ensuite bath. The other 3 bedrooms have updated ceiling fans, blinds, and easy access to the shared hall bath. The finished basement expands your living space with separate areas for recreation, office/exercise, laundry room, and hobbie/workbench/storage room. A finished crawl space provides even more storage, and a radon mitigation system already in place will give you peace of mind. The private, fenced backyard and large paver patio is ready for your relaxation and entertainment. A lawn irrigation system keeps the yard lush and green all season long. This rare find offers exceptional convenience to the neighboring parks, tennis courts, Prairie Elementary, and all the shopping, dining and entertainment of downtown Naperville. Served by the top-rated Naperville SD 203. This exceptional opportunity combines an unbeatable location, a beautifully updated home, and the rare advantage of true move-in readiness.
