What's special

Stunning modified 2-story walkout backing up to the perimeter of Woodridge Park! The home boasts striking brick cladding on the front and opens to a private, wooded backdrop in the rear. The main level features a beautifully remodeled kitchen with stained-birch cabinets and acacia flooring. Upstairs, three bedrooms are clustered together, highlighted by a breathtaking owner’s ensuite remodel featuring double vanities, a deep soaker tub, a tiled shower, and a walk-in closet. The walkout lower level includes an incredible basement workshop. Major mechanical peace of mind comes from a newer furnace, A/C, and triple-pane windows. Premium extras include a 3-car garage, a concrete driveway, and full-yard irrigation. Meticulously maintained, this home is perfectly located close to groceries, dining, and parks.
