    What's special

    Quiet backyardsLarge front yardFarmers marketWashington parkPrairie pathProfessionally decoratedDual skylights

    East Coast/Nantucket inspired home, expanded, and professionally decorated in one of Elmhurst's top locations, Cherry Farm. Rare opportunity oozing with character. Great Neighbors: friendly and kind, and always looking out for each other. We will miss them! Privacy! From the primary bedroom wake up in the am and look out to only treetops, and quiet backyards on either side. It further features an ensuite w double sinks and double shower, dual walk in closets, dual skylights, and an entry foyer w built in window seat and laundry chute. Impressive two story stairwell w arched window. Flowering tree outside the kitchen window, and flowering landscaping in front of deck: birds chirping, drinking coffee in the breakfast room or on the deck or screened porch and looking at blooms. Privacy and 1/3 acre lot size in the backyard/side driveway allows for large gatherings and child play. Driveway size bonus for multiple vehicles, bikes, visitors without needing street parking. Large front yard perfect for the efence for exercising the dogs, or hosting kids' friends for pop up volleyball, badminton, or jump house. We once hosted an outdoor orchestra concert for the neighborhood and it was the perfect size. Location! In addition to walking to Edison and Sandburg, there is Washington Park, Centennial Park, Prairie Path, Farmers Market, Restaurants and Bars at York/Vallette, as well as a .8mi walk to downtown Elmhurst businesses and the Metra. Prime location to 290/294 makes fast commute times to City and O'hare. It's what you call a "hosting" house. The 3400+sqft layout and room sizes make hosting a large group enjoyable and manageable. The family room location allows kids a place to play and be supervised. Multiple areas to dine and serve food, and the huge living room and fireplace has been a favorite to gather around with friends. The dining room can seat 12 easily. First floor office looking out into nature and away from the house's main traffic areas. Ample closet and storage space-rare for a "vintage" home. Filled with natural light-great for Illinois winters. 5 bedrooms up and large for a vintage home. Side yard location allows for long sun hours-perfect for gardening. So many usable spaces. Checks all the boxes! Unique facade inspired by East Coast Nantucket style. Agent Owned.
