About This Home

Location, location, location - without sacrificing privacy. Experience tranquility in this exceptional home set on a secluded, mature wooded half acre lot. Located 2 minutes from the Fox River walking/bike path and I-90. 25 minutes to O'Hare Airport and Woodfield Mall, the property sits elevated on a gentle hill, offering picturesque views of the professionally landscaped grounds. Both the front and backyard provide a peaceful, private retreat landscaping highlighted by a stunning, illuminated water fountain, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting day and night. Upon entering this solidly built beautiful home, you're welcomed by a spacious living room featuring a huge picture window. From there, you flow into the inviting family room and dining area surrounded by extra-large picture windows and a wood burning fireplace. The kitchen offers a charm with solid wood cabinets. There are plenty of storage areas as well as stainless steel appliances. The kitchen has an eating area with a large picture window overlooking the secluded rear yard, patio and custom fountain. Travertine and oak flooring add warmth and character throughout the home. A recently updated three season room offers an additional space to relax and enjoy the surrounding views. The main level primary bedroom provides generous space with walk in closet and is complemented by a newly renovated bathroom with a huge walk in shower, custom double sink vanity and a heated floor. This five bedroom home features two full baths that have been remodeled with high-end finishes. There are additional 1/2 baths located in the home. Upstairs, you'll find three sizable bedrooms with walk-in closets, along with a loft area. The second-floor bathroom has been remodeled and customized with an oversized champagne bubble bathtub. The finished basement includes a versatile living area, a large utility room, and a convenient half bath located off the laundry room. Another storage feature is the extra clean crawlspace. The home includes numerous updates, making it a comfortable and inviting place to relax and take in the scenery. Enjoy the surrounding nature year round-whether birdwatching or spotting deer that occasionally wander through the yard. The expanded two car garage provides extra storage. Just a short drive to downtown Dundee where you'll find shopping, dining and a quaint town. This home makes you feel like you're away on vacation, but you're really minutes away from everything.
