About this home
Welcome to this immaculate, lovingly maintained 5 bedroom 3 bath home, cherished by its owners for the past 38 years and nestled in one of South Wheaton's most established and sought-after neighborhoods! Enjoy picturesque tree-lined streets, a warm sense of community, and the convenience of WALKING TO Madison Elementary School. Step into the welcoming foyer and head up the open staircase to the sun-filled main level with its beautiful hardwood floors. The inviting living room is highlighted by a cozy stone wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect gathering space. The remodeled, open-concept kitchen is a dream for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring white shaker cabinetry with deep lower drawers, a pantry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and a spacious eating area. A door opens to a multi-level deck overlooking the spectacular backyard, complete with pristine landscaping, a vibrant perennial garden, and a mature canopy of trees that creates a private, peaceful retreat. The expansive primary suite offers a renovated private bath with shower, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the deck...an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the birds and taking in the colors and fragrances of the season. An additional bedroom and full hall bath complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find two additional generously sized bedrooms with great closet space. The bright lower level/basement features a spacious family room with a second wood-burning fireplace, creating a comfortable space for game nights, relaxing, or entertaining. A versatile bonus room provides endless possibilities as a 5th bedroom, home office, fitness room, playroom, or hobby area. This level also includes a full bath, laundry room with utility sink, workshop area, and abundant storage. Additional highlights include a 2-car attached garage and an unbeatable location close to schools, parks, shopping, dining, and everything Wheaton has to offer! This exceptional home combines thoughtful updates, timeless charm, and a truly beautiful setting. Welcome to your new home! Updates include a west side roof replacement, clothing dryer (2020), a complete kitchen renovation featuring stainless steel appliances and the removal of a wall to create an open-concept design (2019). Additional improvements include a washing machine (2017), primary bathroom remodel (2015), and numerous updates completed in 2012, including a water heater, furnace, air conditioning, driveway, windows, siding, landscaping, and a partial main-floor remodel/reconfiguration that created two secondary bedrooms upstairs.
