Pride of ownership lives here - and honestly, it might be setting new standards. Offered by the original owners, this home has been pampered, polished, and cared for from day one. During my walkthrough, I genuinely tried to find a speck of dust... and failed miserably. This is the kind of home that makes you wonder if shoes should even be allowed inside. Perfectly located near the Itasca Train Station, making commuting a breeze while still enjoying a quiet residential setting. Major updates have already been handled for you, including HVAC (5 years new), roof replaced 6 years ago with upgraded 4-inch gutters, a 2-year-old Generac whole-house generator, and a new front door installed 4 years ago. Inside, you'll find generous living space designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining. The family room features a bar area and a walk-out to the yard, while the sub-basement offers a second kitchen - ideal for gatherings, extended living, or hosting like a pro. Step outside to a large patio overlooking a beautifully groomed corner lot. Additional highlights include a 2-car attached garage and the rare opportunity for buyers to purchase much of the carefully maintained furniture directly from the owner. The only reason this lovingly cared-for home is available? The owners are simply downsizing - leaving behind a home that's ready for its next chapter.
