Property Description
Set on one of the community's most desirable pond-front lots, this beautifully updated two-story home offers four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a setting that feels both private and picturesque. With water views as the backdrop, the property delivers a rare combination of tranquility, functionality, and modern upgrades. The exterior invites outdoor enjoyment with a welcoming front porch added in 2022, a fenced backyard accented by a classic white picket fence, and an expansive 20' x 18' deck (2020) ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings overlooking the pond. A storage shed and the home itself are protected by new roofs installed in 2025. The backyard hot tub-new in 2022-sits on a concrete pad with its own dedicated electric panel and is included with the sale. Inside, the home has been comprehensively refreshed in 2025, featuring new carpet and a full interior repaint for a clean, move-in-ready feel. The completely reimagined kitchen anchors the main level with all-new cabinetry, quartz counters and backsplash, a large island with seating, and brand-new appliances. Adjacent living space showcases pond views, updated lighting, a ceiling fan, chair rail accents, and a redesigned fireplace, creating a comfortable yet refined atmosphere. Additional main-floor improvements include luxury vinyl plank flooring (2025) and a fully renovated powder room. The upper level is highlighted by a spacious primary suite with tray ceiling, ceiling fan, custom closet organizers, and an updated private bath. Three additional bedrooms-two with water views-share a hall bath remodeled in 2022 with a double vanity, quartz surfaces, and ceramic tile. Two-panel interior doors were also updated throughout the second floor in 2022. The partially finished basement expands the living space with ceramic tile flooring, a finished family room, and a flexible area suitable for a home office, gym, or recreation room. Storage is plentiful with a large crawl space and a utility area housing a newer washer and dryer (2023). A sump pump with watchdog system adds peace of mind. Significant mechanical and infrastructure upgrades include a Luxaire furnace and A/C (2021), newer windows and sliding door (2020 & 2022), and a Rain Bird underground sprinkler system. A three-car garage provides generous space for vehicles and storage. Located in a quiet, well-kept neighborhood near Freedom Park, residents enjoy access to paths, a playground & covered seating. Conveniently close to top-rated schools, shopping, dining, Metra access, and major expressways, this home stands out for its setting, updates, and overall livability.
