    What's special

    HIGHEST & BEST due by Sunday 2/12 4pm. Feel right at home in this charming cape cod with all the right updates! The redone hardwood floors in the open Living Room / Dining Room combined with the natural light from the atrium effect picture windows overlooking the backyard create a beautiful space. On a nice summer day open up the French doors onto the deck for those fun gatherings with family & friends, extending your living space! The kitchen has been loved and well-kept with shaker style wooden cabinets, granite countertops, brand new SS fridge, pantry closet, and more natural light from the kitchen window overlooking backyard & deck. 1st floor bedroom with wainscoting & hardwood flooring can be a flexible space - whether it be a primary bedroom, playroom, or an office (as in its current use). The 2 full baths located on main floor & 2nd floor have both been updated tastefully. Both upstairs bedrooms are spacious and ideal for growing family or for more flexible space to enjoy. Speaking of space, there is plenty more of it and ample storage found in all the various closets throughout home, the full basement, and shed attached to garage. Large storage room in basement even has space for workout room! The Laundry has extra cabinets, sink & folding area. Otherwise, relax, entertain, or have the kids play in the finished basement recreation room. What's more to love about this home is its perfect location! Located on a cul-de-sac, walking distance to Eldridge Park for fitness & family fun, a short distance to nearby downtown Elmhurst, less than 2 miles to OakBrook Mall, and a close proximity to downtown Chicago! Elmhurst is known for its fantastic neighborhood & great school district. You can have it all with this beautiful home in a prime location!!
