Tucked away behind a beautiful canopy of mature trees, this vintage Prairie-style ranch offers timeless charm on a 135' x 300' wooded lot. With over 1,700 sq ft of living space, the home features 3 bedrooms, 1 bath, and a full walk-up gabled attic-8 feet high at the center and ready for finishing. A spacious front porch welcomes you, offering the perfect spot to enjoy the peaceful, tree-lined surroundings. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout the living room and Dining Room, accented by a tiled kitchen, and carpeted bedrooms!. The living room's cozy fireplace is framed by classic French windows, and the open layout combined with high ceilings creates an airy, inviting feel. Off the dining room, a bright sitting room brings scenic outdoor views right into the heart of the home. The bedrooms are generously sized, with one thoughtfully converted to include a first-floor laundry area. The kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, a center island, and a breakfast nook overlooking the open, fenced backyard-complete with a lush lawn, a few mature trees, and an oversized 20' x 18' wood deck, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include a full basement with exterior access, a two-car garage, and a work shed. All appliances, including the washer and dryer, stay. Ideally located minutes from parks, the Prairie Path in half block away, shopping, Central DuPage Hospital, and the quaint downtowns of West Chicago and Winfield, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and convenience.
