About this home

** MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED -- HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS DUE MONDAY 3/30 at 11 AM ** Meticulously Renovated 2-Story Charmer in the Heart of Elmhurst. Rare opportunity to own a beautifully reimagined 1924 home where timeless character and modern living come together seamlessly. Ideally located in the heart of Elmhurst, this light-filled home offers an easy walk to downtown, Spring Road, and the Prairie Path. Thoughtfully transformed over the past decade, this is not a quick flip, but a true labor of love. Nearly every major system and surface has been updated, allowing the next owner to simply move in and enjoy. The home features three bedrooms on the second floor plus a main-level fourth bedroom currently used as a flexible playroom/flex space. Inside, you'll find a full interior renovation including new copper plumbing, updated electrical throughout, refinished hardwood floors, herringbone slate tile flooring in the kitchen and mudroom, and a refreshed fireplace with gas logs. The fully renovated bathrooms and beautifully updated kitchen blend function and style, with custom warm white inset cabinetry and marble countertops. The living room has been enhanced with custom built-ins, crown molding, and rich millwork, while the second level is finished with solid core wood doors and charming glass doorknobs that honor the home's original character. The basement was fully renovated within the last 24 months, featuring luxury vinyl flooring and a beautifully appointed full bathroom. Outside, exceptional curb appeal sets the tone. A bluestone front porch with cedar shake roof, handsome front dormer addition, Hardie siding, and freshly painted brick create a striking first impression. New gutters and refurbished original wood windows with triple-track storm windows add beauty, efficiency, and peace of mind. Professionally designed landscaping, a paver turnaround parking pad, and a gorgeous backyard patio complete the outdoor spaces, making them ideal for entertaining or relaxing at home. Homes like this are rare-rich in character, extensively updated, and perfectly located. Welcome Home.
