Custom built in 2004, this brick and stone home offers the best of both worlds with a walk to town location and an easy commute downtown from either the Park Ridge or Edison Park Metra station, both less than a mile away. Beautiful curb appeal welcomes you home to this property set on a generous 50x153 lot, where the front porch off the office offers the perfect spot to enjoy the morning sun before your day begins. Step inside to a dramatic two story foyer that sets the tone for the entire home, with a formal living room and dining room on one side and a private office on the other. The heart of the first floor is the expansive kitchen featuring a large island, full walk-in pantry, and a dedicated breakfast room overlooking the backyard. It opens seamlessly to the family room, where a wood burning fireplace serves as a stunning centerpiece, creating a large open space ideal for everyday living and entertaining. First floor laundry and a powder room add everyday convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with a private balcony overlooking the backyard, dual closets, and an ensuite bath offering a double vanity with makeup area, walk-in shower, and separate soaking tub. Three additional bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the second floor, one with its own charming bonus room above the front entry, perfect as a playroom, reading nook, or space for decor. The unfinished basement with 10 foot ceilings is already framed out and ready for your vision, with a bar area, second wood burning fireplace, and a room planned for a bathroom and sauna, offering the opportunity to create your own dedicated wellness room. A sump pump and sprinkler system provide added peace of mind. Outside, the large backyard with patio is enclosed by a classic wrought iron fence and complemented by a two car detached garage and driveway. This is a home that truly has it all in one of the most desirable Park Ridge locations.
