Rare opportunity in Brookfield - a turnkey home on a coveted oversized lot with flexible living space that lives much larger than the square footage suggests. This home offers three plus bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms with classic 1930s character - original details, solid construction, and the kind of walkable Brookfield block buyers are looking for. Downstairs, a fully finished lower-level suite added in 2023 has its own entrance and includes a half bath and creates a private retreat ideal for in-laws, adult children at home, a remote work setup, or guests who want their own space. The main level welcomes you with an open and inviting layout, highlighted by recessed lighting and a seamless flow between the living room and kitchen. The kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring granite countertops, modern appliances, and a spacious island with a built-in downdraft vent system. Outside is where this property really stands out. The double lot gives you a yard most Brookfield homes can't offer - room for entertaining, gardening, play space, or future expansion. The oversized 2.5+ car heated garage is a Chicago-winter dream: workshop space, hobby room, or simply somewhere your cars actually stay warm. Major mechanicals are handled, including a full new AC system installed in 2021. Walkable to the Metra stop for an easy ride downtown, minutes from Brookfield Zoo, and in the LT High School district. Restaurants, the Salt Creek trail, and the village's growing downtown are all walkable. Easy access to and from Chicago. The home has been thoughtfully updated over time, including electrical, plumbing, tankless water heater, insulation, and drywall, making it truly turnkey so you can simply move in and enjoy. The basement has been professionally waterproofed by Permaseal and includes a transferable warranty for added peace of mind. Move-in ready with the big-ticket items already done - a rare combination of character, flexibility, and outdoor space at this price point in the western suburbs.
