About this home
Welcome to 605 N Chestnut Avenue, an absolutely stunning, quintessential 5 bedroom, 3.1 bath home in the heart of Arlington Heights, just moments from the vibrant energy of downtown. Set behind a dramatic circular drive with incredible curb appeal, this beautifully upgraded residence blends timeless character, gracious scale, and thoughtful modern living in a way that feels truly special. The main level is bright, expansive, and inviting, with sun-filled living spaces, classic millwork, rich hardwood floors, a spacious living room with fireplace, elegant dining room, and a beautiful three-season room with vaulted ceiling, walls of windows, and its own fireplace. The updated white kitchen features abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and a charming eat-in breakfast nook with built-in banquette seating. Multiple gathering spaces throughout the home offer incredible flexibility, including a comfortable family room and an oversized recreation room ideal for play, media, hobbies, or entertaining. Upstairs, five generous bedrooms provide room for everyone, including a serene primary suite with a huge walk-in closet and spacious private bath with walk-in shower. Secondary bedrooms are bright and well-proportioned, with access to both shared and ensuite bath spaces for added comfort and privacy. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with two expansive patios, beautiful green space, mature trees, and a rare detached studio featuring a private office and wet bar, perfect for working from home, hosting, or creating a separate retreat. A three-car garage, generous driveway parking, and abundant storage complete the package. All of this in a prime Arlington Heights location near downtown dining, shopping, entertainment, Metra, and local favorites including Hey Nonny, Scratchboard Kitchen, Mago Grill & Cantina, Kilwins, Arlington Alfresco, boutique shops, and more.
