Property Description
Beautifully remodeled in 2025 and fully permitted with city inspections, this stunning Des Plaines home is just a short walk to downtown, the train, and top-rated schools. The bright, airy living room is framed by large windows that flood the space with natural light and flows into a contemporary kitchen appointed with Bosch appliances, quartz countertops, and ample room for a dining table. Herringbone hardwood floors run throughout the home and are plumbed for radiant in-floor heating for added comfort. The family room, positioned between the living room and the attached 2.5-car garage, offers exceptional flexibility: two sliding patio doors open to patios and yards on both sides, creating ideal indoor/outdoor entertaining space, and the room can be converted into an additional bedroom with space and plumbing available to add a second full bath-perfect for creating a primary suite. The luxurious main bath showcases Italian marble, a Grohe rain shower, and a large whirlpool tub. All mechanical systems are new, including an energy-efficient furnace (95 AFUE), new AC, upgraded electrical panel, new plumbing, a tankless water heater, upgraded insulation, and a new roof; appliances carry warranties. Laundry can be installed in multiple convenient locations (utility room near the water heater, the original family-room closet, the garage closet, or back-to-back with the existing bathroom). With generous front and back yards and meticulous, code-compliant renovations throughout, this home is move-in ready and easily customizable to suit your needs.
