Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, 2 blocks from Ben Franklin Elementary, this charming and immaculate Cape Cod on an oversized, 1/3 acre lot, personifies Glen Ellyn living. Thoughtfully expanded and updated with over 3,000 square feet of finished living space, the bright first floor features a formal dining room and living room, leading to the updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-end stainless-steel appliances (Wolf cooktop), separate pantry and stone countertops. The adjacent, spacious family room, with a brick, gas starter fireplace opens to a beautiful, screened porch overlooking the huge backyard, with a new fence. A large deck on the side of the house is perfect for entertaining. The second floor features a stunning primary suite with a brand-new, spa-like, bath with alder cabinetry and Newport Brass and Kohler fixtures, as well as three additional bedrooms and a recently updated hall bath. The full, finished basement, features another living room, play area, charming office/bedroom, and laundry. The oversized 2.5 car garage offers tons of second floor storage with easy access staircase, and the exterior of the home and garage feature Hardie Board siding. This home has been meticulously maintained and cared for and the modern updates and amazing location make it stand out - a true GEM!
