Property Description

Don't let this charming CAPE COD fool you! This home is MUCH LARGER than it looks w/ WELL OVER 2,500 SQ FT OF LIVING SPACE, located on a beautiful, TREE-LINED street north of Roosevelt Road in one of Wheaton's most DESIRABLE neighborhoods. This expanded home sits on a RARE OVERSIZED LOT & blends TIMELESS CHARACTER with THOUGHTFUL MODERN UPDATES. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for over 25 YEARS, this home has been the backdrop for countless MEMORIES and MEANINGFUL IMPROVEMENTS-including a MAJOR ADDITION that added generous square footage and a FULLY DUG-OUT BASEMENT. From the moment you arrive, you'll be charmed by the ADORABLE CURB APPEAL. Walk up the front path and step onto the OVERSIZED FRONT PORCH-perfect for morning coffee or evening chats with neighbors. Inside, you'll find a bright, open front room currently used as both a FORMAL DINING & LIVING ROOM. You'll immediately notice the GORGEOUS HARDWOOD FLOORS, FRESH LIGHT-COLORED PAINT, & CHARMING WINDOWS that bathe the space in NATURAL LIGHT. Turn the corner and you'll find a 1st FL BEDROOM with BRAND NEW CARPET-conveniently located next to a FULL BATHROOM with a tub/shower combo (ideal for guests, in-laws, or home office). Continue past the staircase to a FOYER AREA with a SIDE ENTRY DOOR-perfect for bringing in groceries w/ ease. The heart of the home is the EXPANDED KITCHEN & FAMILY ROOM again with beautiful hardwood floors. The kitchen features CUSTOM CABINETRY, CAMBRIA QUARTZ COUNTERTOPS, UNDER-CABINET LIGHTING, a LARGE ISLAND with a built-in microwave and lots of extra cabinet storage. FRENCH DOORS open to a low-maintenance TREX DECK and a BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD that's ready for entertaining, playing, or simply relaxing under the SHOWSTOPPER MATURE TREE. Enjoy washing dishes while gazing at that view! The kitchen flows seamlessly into the FAMILY ROOM with a GAS FIREPLACE, perfect for cozy evenings. Upstairs you'll find 3 SPACIOUS BEDROOMS, including a MASTER SUITE with WALK-IN "HIS AND HERS" CLOSETS and a LARGE BATHROOM featuring a SEPARATE SHOWER AND TUB. Enjoy BRAND NEW CARPET up the staircase, through the SECOND-FLOOR HALLWAY, and in the MASTER BEDROOM, while the 2 ADDITIONAL BEDROOMS boast BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOD FLOORS. A 2nd FULL BATHROOM on this level includes a WALK-IN SHOWER. The 2nd FL LAUNDRY ROOM offers a UTILITY SINK and EXTRA COUNTER SPACE - practical and convenient! Downstairs, the FINISHED BASEMENT features BRAND NEW WOOD LAMINATE FLOORING, BUILT-IN CABINETS, & FRESH PAINT. There's plenty of space for ENTERTAINING, along with OVERSIZED CLOSETS for storage and a BONUS ROOM that's perfect for a HOME OFFICE, GUEST ROOM, or PLAYROOM. Thanks to the LARGE ADDITION put on the home, the basement now extends the full length of the house - providing an EXPANDED UNFINISHED AREA. This space houses the MAJOR MECHANICALS, an ADDITIONAL UTILITY SINK, and offers an ABUNDANCE OF STORAGE. With so much extra square footage, the possibilities are endless - FINISH IT OFF or transform it into your DREAM WORKSHOP. This kind of FLEXIBLE LOWER-LEVEL SPACE is truly UNCOMMON and adds tremendous value! Outside, you'll find a DETACHED 2.5-CAR GARAGE, BURIED POWER LINES (RARE for the area), and a BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED YARD that has been lovingly cared for over the years. Enjoy your private backyard oasis with the mature trees, blooming perennials, and thoughtful garden design making this outdoor space truly special. Not only will you fall in the love with the house and neighborhood, the LOCATION is unbeatable. Less than a 20-MINUTE WALK to the College Avenue Metra Station and ideally located between DOWNTOWN WHEATON & DOWNTOWN GLEN ELLYN. The PRAIRIE PATH is just around the corner for all your walking, running, or biking adventures. TOP-RATED SCHOOLS (District 200) Lowell Elementary, Franklin Middle, & Wheaton North HS.
