Property Description
Gorgeous townhome offering 3 bedrooms, 2.1 baths, a spacious open layout, and distinctive features not found in other models! The main level showcases soaring ceilings, recessed lighting, and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry, a custom tile backsplash, a closet pantry, and an adjacent dining area. A large quartz-topped island provides ample workspace and seating, making it ideal for both everyday meals and entertaining. The sun-filled living room is anchored by expansive windows that create a bright, welcoming atmosphere. Just off the dining area, a versatile sunroom offers flexible space for a home office, playroom, or additional living area. A convenient mudroom/drop zone and remodeled powder room complete the main floor. Upstairs, a generous loft area separates the primary suite from the additional bedrooms and bath, offering added privacy. The primary retreat features recessed lighting, a bonus sitting area, and a walk-in closet with custom shelving. The spa-like en suite bath includes a dual-sink white vanity, a spacious 7'x5' tiled shower, and a private commode. Bedrooms two and three both offer generous closet space with custom organization systems, including a large walk-in closet in bedroom two. The second full bath is thoughtfully arranged with a separate vanity area and a private space for the tiled tub/shower and commode. A conveniently located second-floor laundry room completes the upper level. Additional highlights include exceptional storage with six oversized hallway and linen closets, an attached two-car garage, and a private entrance. Enjoy a fenced backyard, ample guest parking along the street, and the ease of HOA-covered exterior maintenance, lawn care, and snow removal. Ideally located in the highly acclaimed Naperville 204 School District with the elementary school sitting less than a block from the home. Also just minutes from shopping and dining along Route 59, with quick access to I-88 for an easy commute. This home truly offers it all!
