This spacious, bright and fully refreshed home offers a tremendous value.

In the past two months, the seller — who is the original owner — has lovingly updated so many key features to help the next owners feel right at home. The interior walls, ceilings and trim were professionally painted, new wall-to-wall carpet and luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed throughout the entire home, new light fixtures were hung on the first floor, and the kitchen has brand new Pental Quartz countertops, along with a brand new stainless steel sink and fixture. In so many ways, it feels like a new home.

The house greets you with a generous foyer that leads into the open-concept living room and dining room spaces. The high ceilings and fresh color palette create spaces that are airy, bright and inviting. There is plenty of room to entertain, and the gas fireplace offers an easy way to get cozy. The sliding doors from the dining room offer quick access to the south-facing backyard and patio during the warmer months.

Living is easy! Upstairs there are 4 large bedrooms, including the owner’s suite that has a huge (88+ sf) walk-in closet. Each bedroom is spacious with large closets and big windows. The hallway has two solar tubes that provide passive light, even on the gray days. There is a laundry room at the end of the hallway, right next to the second full bathroom with a tub. The attached oversized garage provides plenty of room for everyone’s gear and makes it easy to bring in the groceries.

The home was built in 2007 by Tom Walsh Construction to the high standards of efficiency required to be Earth Advantage Certified. The 92% efficient gas furnace was recently serviced, the roof received a 5-year certification, the exterior has been fully powerwashed, and there is fresh landscaping around the property.

The house is located just two blocks from beautiful McCoy Park and its many large, mature trees, play structures and the Community Garden, as well as two blocks from the Charles Jordan Community Center. The Lombard business district, including New Seasons, is just over 1 mile away, as is the underrated Columbia Slough nature trail to the north. The Bike Score is a 97, making access to the neighborhood and beyond a cinch.

There is so much house on offer here, and it’s ready to grow with you over the years. Don’t miss this one!
