The inviting living room is anchored by a fireplace, while the spacious family room - part of a 2008 two-story addition - features a direct-vent fireplace and opens directly to a screened porch, perfect for enjoying warm summer evenings. Just beyond, a brick patio overlooks the lush, private backyard. The kitchen is spacious and well-appointed with maple cabinetry and a suite of newer stainless steel appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher (2020) and refrigerator, range/oven, and microwave (2025). Tile flooring rounds out this bright and functional space. A first-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath offers flexible main-level living, ideal for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living.

Two additional bedrooms both with walk in closets. The full basement is partially finished and includes a recreation room with the home's third fireplace, plus a rough-in for a full bath - ready for your finishing touches. Major improvements have been completed for peace of mind: LP SmartSide siding (2017), roof (2019), water heater (2025), garbage disposal (2025), radon mitigation system (2026) and a fully rebuilt and tuckpointed chimney (2026). Location is everything, and this home delivers. Forest Glen Elementary School is just across the street, and Lake Ellyn is moments away.
