Description
Beautifully maintained and impressive 3-bedroom, 2-bath split-level home offering almost 1,800 sq ft of living space, tucked away on a quiet side street in Des Plaines. Step inside to a bright, open and inviting layout filled with natural light. Hardwood floors throughout, dramatic cathedral ceilings, skylights and a beautiful marble fireplace add character and warmth. The modern kitchen features plenty of cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, while the separate dining room flows into a spectacular sun-filled 4-season room surrounded by windows - the perfect place to relax or entertain while enjoying views of the huge, super-private fenced backyard. The upper level features 3 bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with a private full ceramic bath. The lower level offers a comfortable family/rec room and an additional full bathroom with shower. An attached 1-car garage, additional parking and an oversized deck complete the home. Recent energy-efficiency and home-performance improvements include added insulation in the exterior walls, attic, floors and crawl space, air sealing, duct insulation and repairs, weatherstripping, HVAC servicing and more. Great location near the Mount Prospect border - approximately 10 minutes to the Metra station, with easy access to I-90, O'Hare International Airport, shopping, dining and more. Great indoor and outdoor living, tons of natural light and a huge private fenced backyard make this home a must-see
