Come see this stunning 4bed/3bath home that feels like a fairy-tale cottage with modern amenities! Located on a corner lot within walking distance to 2 bus routes to downtown and UIHC, biking trails, parks, and a grocery store. In the Lemme Elementary School and City Highschool school district, this quiet neighborhood is full of friendly faces!
There are original wood floors throughout the main floor, and accompanied with granite and marble tile. The large custom kitchen is a chef’s dream with high quality maple cabinetry (dovetail drawers, soft close hardware), under cabinet lighting, heated countertop in the center island, an insta-hot water faucet at the sink, and a gas range.
The main living room features a gorgeous Vermont Castings wood burning fireplace, which was installed in 2021. All interior and exterior doors and windows were replaced in 2014, new high-efficiency HVAC in 2022, roof in 2017, and water heater from 2014. There is a nest thermostat as well as interconnected smoke alarms on the throughout the first floor and basement! The main bathroom feels like a spa with dimmable lighting and a deep soaking hydrotherapy tub with 200 jets and heated backrest.
The main floor is 1,385 sq ft with an additional 1,100 sq ft of finished basement. The basement was fully finished in 2020 and features a study or office nook, a bedroom with an egress window, and three-quarter bathroom. The large basement bonus room is 22ft x 16ft, which is wired for surround speakers to use as a theater room or for whatever fits your needs. The possibilities are endless! The basement also contains a spacious laundry room, unfinished storage/utility room, as well as finished storage hidden behind a bookcase! Every home should have a bookcase to a hidden room.
The 2-car garage is lit like an autobody shop and has a 50A - 220v outlet. Plenty of space for tools and cars! The large backyard features a custom fence and has been planted with care for native plants and insects. Enjoy the warm weather on a large pergola with purple wisteria growing across the top, offering shade and beautiful blooms. Or you can sit on the porch of the garden shed, designed to look like a cozy French Café. The double-layered polycarbonate roof allows the shed to double as a greenhouse as well as a rain water collector.
Kitchen refrigerator, washer, dryer, and garden shed are negotiable.
