    Just as the Brookfield Zoo is known for creating world class habitats tailored to its residents, this exceptional home offers a thoughtfully designed environment that provides comfort, style, and room to roam. Set on a rare oversized .87 acre lot, 3222 Vernon Avenue is a meticulously curated retreat. Here, space, function, and charm coexist in perfect harmony. A welcoming enclosed porch leads to the front door, offering a bright and inviting space to relax before stepping into the spacious foyer. Inside, well-crafted living spaces feature red oak hardwood flooring, classic millwork, and built-ins that add warmth and depth. The foyer flows into the living and dining rooms, each designed with a sense of timeless elegance. A first floor bedroom and full bath offer convenience, while the eat in kitchen provides ample pantry storage and space for gathering. Just beyond, the sunroom offers a peaceful retreat, a perfect spot to unwind and take in the beauty of your surroundings as the seasons change. The second floor offers a habitat of its own with a spacious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, a shared bathroom, an oversized second bedroom with a tandem reading nook or desk space, a third bedroom, and a versatile loft ideal as a home office, library, or creative retreat. The fully finished lower level expands the home's possibilities, with a family room centered around a fireplace, a dedicated workroom, ample storage space, and a laundry room. Outside, the sunroom opens to the expansive backyard, a private oasis lined with lush greenery. With two garages and a paved alley, storage and accessibility are effortless. Carefully maintained and recently updated, the home features new siding (2024) and a beautifully renovated upstairs bathroom (2025). Set in a community that values both natural beauty and urban convenience, this home is just minutes from highly rated Riverside Brookfield High School, the Metra commuter train, a vibrant downtown, and of course, the renowned Brookfield Zoo. Among Brookfield's most exceptional habitats, this is a rare find. Don't miss the opportunity to make it your own.
