If you love historic homes rich with character, but also updated with modern features, then you'll love this immaculately cared-for and clean, 1915 cape cod. And you'll love its location. Conveniently located to downtown Elmhurst, Metra train station, access to major highways and O'Hare and only short walk to highly-rated schools (Lincoln Elementary and York Community High School), Illinois Prairie Path, and Whole Foods Market and other shopping and restaurants. From the moment you step onto the charming front porch surrounded by large mature trees, you feel at home. Welcoming foyer opens to inviting living and dining room. Stunning hardwood floors throughout the home, elegant moldings, original oak wood trim around windows, doors and entryways give the home a comfortable and classic feel. Thoughtfully rehabbed with well-appointed kitchen and 2-story addition, allowing for open kitchen/family room gathering space on the main floor and large, relaxing master bedroom retreat and en suite master bath on the 2nd floor. Kitchen gleams with granite countertops, shaker style cabinets, stainless appliances, and breakfast bar. Home boasts 3 full bathrooms, a 2nd bedroom that is nearly as large as the master suite, a 4th bedroom in basement, a sunny and private back deck, a separate stone patio area and outdoor bar overlooking a fully, fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for play and entertaining. And if you're looking for a large private home office or separate game room and hang-out place for the kids, you should see the walk-up finished space above the expansive 27-foot deep, 2-car garage! With the rehab, came new electric, plumbing, and flood control. And more recently, investments have been made to install whole-house central A/C, replaster walls leading upstairs, install updated light fixtures, fresh paint and NEST Thermostats for maximum efficiency. This well taken care of home offers the perfect blend of the rich character and solid construction that these early century cape cod's are known for along with the updated features and modern amenities that fit with today's lifestyles. That combined with great location to schools and town makes this one a keeper.
