Get the best of both worlds with this beautiful spacious home that backs up to a nature preserve! This extraordinary home is conveniently located within approximately 1.5 miles away from retail shopping, restaurants, parks, the Metra Station, I-355, grocery stores, medical offices including U of C Medicine, and much more! You will feel as if you are in your very home away from home. As soon as you leave the McGinnis subdivision, you are back to the real world. The residents in this area RARELY move because they absolutely love it here. As soon as you drive up, you'll notice the Koi pond that is waiting to come back to life. Head out to the backyard and treat yourself to an above-ground pool with a convenient extended deck with festive lights that are ready for its new owners to entertain guests. The backyard also includes a shed to store your pool supplies. One more thing ... there is a fenced-off area if you are hoping for a dog run or a garden. Again, there is no shortage of space in this home! Keep walking towards the back of the yard and you'll discover a nature preserve with a path for your morning walks. If you want some quiet time away from everyone, you now have plenty of options. Let's take a tour of the inside of this SUPER home! The kitchen is a dream for those who love cooking and gathering around to watch the chef. Enjoy a cool beverage with family and friends. The stove top boasts a wall-mounted range hood adding to the beauty of the kitchen. Notice the counter space around the stovetop. Did you see the extra breakfast bar seating area? Did you notice the built-in wine/beverage cooler? Oh, my! The kitchen also comes with a convenient sliding door to step out onto the wooden deck and take in the clear crisp blue sky or the glittery bright evening stars. The upstairs bedrooms are generous in size and boast beautiful hardwood floors. The upstairs bathroom has a double vanity with plenty of elbow room. The master bedroom has plenty of space and offers a large walk-in closet. The master bathroom has a gorgeous shower and tub that just sparkles. The upstairs hallway is VERY spacious. Add a comfy seating area for reading and relaxing! In addition to the living room and dining room, head on down to the HUGE family room. Start planning for those cooler nights next to the cozy fireplace with a cup of cocoa. Just off the family room, you will find a second bedroom/living space. Turn it into a "Work from Home" office. The sub-basement area also has a laundry room that leads to the 2-car garage. Hold on! We are almost done with the tour. The unfinished basement is just waiting for your creative designs. If you need a room for your hobbies or an exercise area, this is it. The only way to know if this home is for you is to book an appointment now. By now, you must know that someone else is already scheduling a showing while you are reading this. Don't hesitate. (Showings begin on Weds., Sept. 6, 2023.)
