Welcome to 513 N Howard-where space, updates, and location all come together. This home was thoughtfully renovated in 2011 to create a bright, open feel, highlighted by a stunning family room with vaulted ceilings and oversized windows overlooking a beautifully manicured 174' deep yard. Step outside to your concrete patio-perfect for grilling, entertaining, or just relaxing by a firepit at the end of the day. The kitchen was completely redone with new cabinetry, appliances, Corian countertops, and an island with seating that makes everyday living easy. Upstairs, the expanded primary bedroom offers a comfortable retreat, a full renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower and double sinks, plus a second bedroom nearby. Two additional bedrooms sit on the main level-one currently used as a home office-along with another full bath and extra living space. Big-ticket updates have already been handled: electrical upgraded to 220 amp, plumbing, siding, windows, and roof (2011), plus dual-zoned HVAC with newer mechanicals (furnace 2024, A/C 2022, water heater 2023). You'll also appreciate the abundance of closet space and a large insulated crawl space for storage. All of this just a short walk to Field Elementary and close to Elmhurst City Centre, Metra, major expressways, and more. Come take a look-you'll feel right at home the moment you walk in.
