Sitting pretty on a quiet CUL-DE-SAC, this tastefully updated brick-and-cedar home has a light, easy feel from the moment you walk in. With 3,132 square feet above grade, the layout is open, bright, and delightfully connected to the backyard and pool beyond. The MAIN LEVEL has been updated with new wood flooring, light fixtures, and soft neutral paint tones throughout. The vaulted great room feels airy and welcoming, opening to the inviting white kitchen with a generous eat-in area and lovely views of the backyard. There is also a formal living room and dining room with wainscoting, plus a winsome main-floor office with warm, solid-wood built-ins. Main-floor laundry (with a sink!) adds everyday convenience. UPSTAIRS, the roomy primary suite feels like a quiet retreat, with a tray ceiling and spa-like bath featuring a freestanding tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and separate water closet. Three additional generous bedrooms complete the second floor, along with a large unfinished attic space off the fourth bedroom that is perfect for off-season clothing, luggage, and extra storage. The full unfinished BASEMENT has been freshly painted and offers plenty of room for recreation, workouts, hobbies, storage, or future finishing. And then there's the BACKYARD - one of the true highlights of the home. Surrounded by professional landscaping for exceptional privacy, the yard features a newer 35' x 20' salt-cell inground POOL, installed in 2023, with three waterfall features and LED lighting for magical evening swims. The Bluetooth controlled safety cover helps keep the pool clean and adds an extra layer of convenience. There's also a large freshly painted deck, a cozy fire pit area, an established vegetable garden, a chicken coop with laying hens (yes they are up for adoption), a sprinkler system, and attractive aluminum fencing. At the BACK of the property, a gate opens to a short path through the trees that leads directly to the walking path at Big Woods Park. From there, enjoy playgrounds, tennis and pickleball courts, baseball fields, basketball courts, and a lengthy walking/running path. The Prairie Path and Rotolo Middle School are just a block away, and the home is only minutes from I-88, Marmion Academy, and the shopping and restaurants along Kirk Road....Beautifully updated, exceptionally private, and filled with thoughtful spaces inside and out, this is the kind of home that makes everyday life feel just a little more special!
