    What's special

    Detached two-car garageThoughtfully designed floor planBeautifully landscaped backyardWelcoming family roomAbundant storageEat-in kitchenExpansive green space
    Exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home in Elmhurst's sought-after Tuxedo Park neighborhood. Proudly owned by the same family since 1996, this home was thoughtfully reimagined with plans designed by architect Frank Lucchese and a substantial renovation, including a second-floor addition, expertly completed by the highly respected Dan Wangler Construction in 2007-a name synonymous with exceptional craftsmanship and quality throughout Elmhurst. The thoughtfully designed floor plan is ideal for today's lifestyle, offering four generously sized bedrooms upstairs, including a gorgeous, recently renovated primary suite bath and a spacious second-floor laundry room. The main level features formal living and dining rooms, a welcoming family room, an eat-in kitchen, a full bath, and a private office with a closet that can easily serve as a fifth bedroom-perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or convenient first-floor living. The partially finished basement adds valuable living space while offering abundant storage and outstanding potential for future expansion. A beautifully landscaped backyard with a large deck, expansive green space, and a detached two-car garage creates the perfect setting for relaxing, entertaining, or everyday enjoyment. Ideally located just one block from the scenic Illinois Prairie Path and near the heart of Elmhurst, this home offers easy access to downtown Elmhurst, the Metra, York Community High School, Elmhurst University, parks, shopping, dining, and more.
