Staley, and is surrounded by some of the area's most distinguished properties. The home is more than move-in ready, featuring an interior adorned with five bedrooms, each with a bath. The impeccable and timeless workmanship sets a standard unmatched in today's market. Period-appropriate Pella high-efficiency windows have replaced the originals, and original hardwoods run throughout. A classic butler's pantry/wet bar expands the kitchen area. Complemented by modern updates including a refrigerator '20, range '24, dishwasher '18, water heater '20, plumbing '20, four A/C units '18, and a slate roof checked in '23, for more details, please see the attached info sheet. Outside, the residence offers enchanting living spaces, including a brick-walled rear yard with a charming gazebo, a beautiful covered side porch, a hot tub, an English garden, a grilling patio, and a rare, generously sized three-car garage. Ideally, it is located just a short distance from Illini Country Club and the historic Washington Park, which offers various recreational activities such as sledding, running/walking, bird watching, fishing, and tennis. This home has undergone a pre-inspection by B-Safe, ensuring peace of mind for the buyer, with necessary repairs already completed for a worry-free purchase. It is being sold as reported.
