This is the ranch you've been waiting for, completely updated where it counts and full of character where it matters. Step inside through a slate-tiled foyer with a guest closet, and you're immediately met with hardwood floors, crown molding, and a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround and wood mantle. The kitchen has been gutted and remodeled, and it shows. Quartz countertops, white shaker cabinetry with brushed nickel pulls, subway tile backsplash, and a full suite of GE stainless steel appliances including a gas range with griddle. It's clean, it's crisp, and it's ready for everything from Tuesday night dinners to Sunday morning pancakes.  Three bedrooms round out the main level, all with hardwood floors and ceiling fans. The primary suite has a double door closet and direct access to a sunroom that opens straight to the backyard, your own private retreat for morning coffee or evening wind downs. The hall bathroom was also fully gutted and remodeled, featuring a quartz vanity with brushed nickel fixtures, a shower/tub area with subway tile surround and built in product niches, and a medicine cabinet for extra storage. Head downstairs and the value keeps going! A finished recreation room with porcelain tile flooring, recessed lighting, and two closets gives you serious flexible space, think home gym, playroom, or media room. There's a second full bathroom too, with penny tile flooring, a porcelain subway tile shower surround, product niche, and quartz vanity. The utility and laundry room is equipped with an LG washer, Whirlpool dryer, utility sink, and 100 amp electrical service. The big ticket items are already done and feature: new boiler and water heater in 2021. New roof in 2020. New sump pump in 2023. New washer and dryer. Hardwood floors refinished. This home has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded, so you can move in and simply enjoy it. Outside, a fully fenced yard gives you privacy and peace of mind. And finally, its location is amazing! Just blocks to the Metra, shopping, Heinen's grocery store, all new fabulous restaurants, library, parks & more!
