About this home

Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees and surrounded by lush landscaping, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath home feels like your own private retreat while still being close to everything. From morning coffee on the charming front porch swing to evenings around the backyard firepit, every corner of this home invites you to slow down and enjoy life. Inside, you'll find warm hardwood floors, sun-filled living spaces, and a layout that is open for easy living. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a casual dining area that flows effortlessly into the family room. Need room to spread out? You've got it. A spacious living room, separate dining area, cozy family room with gas fireplace, and a finished basement complete with a wet bar create endless possibilities for entertaining, movie nights, game days, or simply relaxing at home. The backyard deserves its own standing ovation. Fully fenced (2023) and beautifully landscaped, it's a private oasis complete with a patio, shade sail, firepit gathering area, and plenty of room for kids, pets, and summer get-togethers. And because pretty should also be practical, the major updates have already been done for you: new furnace with humidifier (2026), central air conditioning (2022), hot water heater (2025), roof (2024), garage door and transmitter (2025), driveway (2020), and fence (2023). This isn't just a house. It's the kind of home where neighbors wave, memories are made, and you'll find yourself looking forward to coming home every day. You even have your CHOICE of which high school that you want to go to, Libertyville or Vernon Hills. Close to everything!
