Property Description

Welcome to this exquisite, fully remodeled ranch home, gracefully situated on a beautiful, nearly half-acre lot in Des Plaines, within walking distance to vibrant downtown, shopping, transportation, Metra, and major expressways. Originally built 20 years ago and meticulously transformed with sophisticated European flair, this modern contemporary residence masterfully blends timeless elegance, superior craftsmanship, and effortless functionality for truly move-in-ready living. Inside, a warm living room with a cozy fireplace welcomes you, where sleek laminate flooring flows seamlessly throughout. The thoughtfully designed layout features two generously sized bedrooms and two fully remodeled contemporary bathrooms. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen with pristine quartz countertops, a dramatic waterfall-edge island, a stylish backsplash, brand-new LG stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated pantry. A practical mudroom includes an LG washer and dryer, sink, and ample storage. Premium finishes include solid European doors, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a whole-home water filtration system. Recent upgrades-newer furnace, water heater, sump pump-ensure lasting peace of mind. Outside, the private oasis offers lush landscaping, a thriving vegetable garden, fruit bushes, and a massive four-car garage (over 700 square feet) built in 2019 with a long side driveway. Extra storage includes a high-ceiling crawl space beneath the entire home (concrete floor) and generous attic space. This is far more than a residence-it is an exceptional lifestyle opportunity. Pleasure to show!
