Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, 1.5-story single-family home on an expansive lot just shy of a half-acre, paired with an incredible detached garage featuring high ceilings, oversized entry doors, a kitchenette, full bathroom, and its own heating and air conditioning for exceptional flexibility. Enjoy a bright, open main level where the updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area, featuring white cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, plus vaulted ceilings that elevate the space. The generously sized bedroom offers an en-suite bath with double vanity and walk-in shower, along with excellent closet space. Convenience is taken to the next level with two dedicated laundry areas and two washer and dryer sets, one on the main level and the other in the basement. The basement adds storage, a utility sink, cabinetry, and rough-in plumbing for a potential future third bath. Boat and Auto enthusiasts will love the incredible 2-bay garage/workshop with high ceilings and tall overhead doors, plus a kitchenette with refrigerator, sink, microwave, and cabinetry, a full bathroom with step-in shower, and its own furnace and A/C. Additional features include a 1-car covered exterior carport, long driveway with powered security gate, and abundant extra parking. The property is zoned R-3, providing added flexibility and making it especially appealing for future site development. Also listed as Land. Ideally located near highly rated Darien schools, I355 and I55 expressway access, golf courses, parks, Costco, restaurants, and shopping. This one is truly a rare find. Move Confidently.
