Property Description

From the moment you spot its Cape Cod gables and welcoming brick walkway, 1155 E Walnut Ave stands apart-seamlessly fusing charm with smart-home convenience. Open the keyless front door and sunlight sweeps across refinished hardwood floors, leading you to a chef-caliber kitchen where slate-finish GE appliances sparkle against thick granite counters and a built-in wine rack practically begs you to uncork and unwind. Just off the main living area, a sun-splashed three-season room blurs the line between indoors and out-perfect for spring mornings with coffee, summer evenings with a good book, or crisp autumn nights under string lights. The open living-and-dining layout keeps everyone connected-ideal for lively dinner parties, Sunday-morning pancakes, or a quiet movie night. Newly redesigned baths blend timeless tile with polished fixtures, while the finished lower level flexes to fit your life: a focused home office by day, Peloton studio at dawn, or a game room after dark. Comfort comes standard thanks to a newer high-efficiency furnace, water heater, Ecobee thermostat, and smart locks-so temperature, security, and peace of mind are always at your fingertips. Slide open the back door and summer unfolds in a generous, privacy-fenced yard: morning coffee on the patio, evening barbecues beneath leafy trees, and plenty of space for kids or pups to roam. The oversized two-car garage is the hobbyist's dream, complete with a lofted mezzanine that keeps gear organized and holiday decor out of sight yet close at hand. Set on a tree-lined street just minutes from parks, downtown Des Plaines cafes, Metra trains, and major expressways, this one-of-a-kind home offers the warmth of yesterday, the technology of tomorrow, and the lifestyle you've been searching for today. Discover Walnut Avenue's best-kept secret-fall in love and move right in.
