This charming 1950's Cape Cod in a highly sought-after St. Charles neighborhood offers the perfect blend of character and updates. Located east of the Fox River, you'll love being close to trails, parks, the library, shops, and restaurants. Inside, original details like arched doorways and hardwood floors give the home warmth and personality, while a large front picture window floods the living room with natural light. The spacious basement, complete with a private side entrance, is currently operating as a successful short-term rental-providing true income potential or another living area for you to enjoy personally. Recent improvements ensure peace of mind, including a new water heater (2025), furnace (2024), A/C (2023), select windows on the 1st floor (2023), under-sink kitchen water filter (2023), updated basement bathroom (2022), partial electric upgrade in the basement (2022), a 3/4 drain tile system with transferable warranty (2021-2022) and sump pump w/ batter backup (2021). Whether you're hosting on multiple levels of living space or enjoying summer evenings on the back patio, this home strikes the perfect balance-spacious enough to entertain but never too big to feel distant.
