Welcome to 125 Thatcher, a stunning residence nestled directly across from a serene forest preserve, offering beautiful views and tranquil surroundings. This thoughtfully designed home boasts a spacious and functional layout perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. Step inside to find an enormous kitchen that opens to the family room, creating a seamless flow for gatherings. The chef's kitchen features two separate working areas with a new Sub-Zero full fridge and freezer, electric and gas cooktops, two ovens, two sinks, and two dishwashers. A separate formal dining room, cozy living room, and a sunroom with built-in bookcases provide distinct spaces full of warmth and character. The first floor also includes a convenient mudroom, laundry room, and powder room for added functionality. Upstairs, you'll find four generous bedrooms, including a primary room with ensuite bath with heated floor and walk-in closet. The second full bath is recently renovated and also features a heated floor and soaking tub. A French balcony compliments the front bedroom, perfect for enjoying fresh air and morning light. A full, unfinished basement is awaiting your ideas! At the back of the home, an incredible four-season room behind the garage offers a vaulted ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows with cabinets and serving space overlooking the lush, beautifully landscaped backyard-a perfect retreat and entertaining space in any season. Walk to the Metra, parks, award-winning District 90 schools, and easy access to the Eisenhower expressway. This home has only had two owners since it was built- a true testament to its integrity. Please see the attached list of improvements, which include: thermal pane windows, whole-house generator, and SpacePac.
