Welcome to this one-of-a-kind residence located in the charming curbless neighborhood of Mt. Prospect overlooking the Golf Course. Sitting on an oversized lot with a direct view of the golf course from the dining room windows, this home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Step inside to find solid hardwood floors throughout, soaring 14-foot ceilings with exposed beams in the family room, and a striking floor-to-ceiling natural green limestone fireplace with black slate hearth-complete with a stainless steel liner, high-efficiency damper, and a custom-built firewood storage system with chute access. The updated chef's kitchen boasts hardwood cabinets, granite countertops, all stainless appliances, including a 2020 convection oven/range and 2024 Bosch dishwasher, plus newly installed skylights in the 14-foot ceiling for an abundance of natural light. Retreat to the oversized primary suite with a spa-like ensuite featuring a jetted tub and newly tiled floors and walls. A secondary bathroom has also been beautifully updated with new tile. This home is designed for comfort and efficiency, featuring a whole house fan, high-efficiency furnace, whole house vacuum system, newer custom 2" wood blinds with valances throughout, new kitchen plantation-style blinds, and 2023 dual Zohler sump pumps. The lower level offers a full basement plus a 5 ft crawl space ready for your finishing touches and has a newer Maytag high-capacity washer and dryer in the laundry area. There are commercial roof fans to regulate heat in the attic which can be accessed by a pull down ladder. The attached garage is equipped with a quiet Chamberlain belt-drive opener. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a paver front walkway (ADA compliant at 48" wide), a mid-century style paneled patio with exposed aggregate concrete, and a beautifully landscaped backyard featuring a weeping willow, fruit-bearing sour cherry tree, Japanese dwarf maple, and perennial beds of day lilies, daffodils, and decorative grasses. Additional upgrades include: 2016 tear-off roof with 40-year architectural shingles, ridge vent, and ice damming protection (shed roof replaced at same time) 2016 new sewer clean out. New exterior rear door with internal blinds; front entry with leaded glass. All newer ceiling fixtures. This rare home combines quality craftsmanship, energy-efficient updates, and natural beauty-all in a desirable Mt. Prospect location. Buyer got cold feet - no fault of seller
