About this home
Nestled among towering oaks on a secluded wooded lot in the sought-after Northwoods neighborhood - a neighborhood surrounded by forest preserve for utmost seclusion - this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath tri-level is just minutes from everyday conveniences. Step outside to your own private retreat in nature - the Illinois Prairie Path entrance is about a block away, right at the end of the street, and the Great Western Trail is a quick bike ride away. Inside, the spacious living and dining areas flow seamlessly into a large, enclosed porch overlooking the wooded backyard and its native perennial gardens - a wonderful space to entertain family and friends. Lovely hardwood floors run throughout, with the second level newly refinished. The finished lower level offers a spacious family room centered around a professionally installed quality Quadra-Fire wood stove with stainless steel chimney - just in time to settle in for the season ahead - plus a full bath and laundry area with ample storage. Gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the mature natural plantings and the sizable storage shed out back. Spread out in the sprawling backyard with serene wooded views on every side. Highly rated District 25 schools, with Wheaton Academy, Klein Creek Golf Club just a 10-minute drive. Minutes to dining, shopping, and Klein Creek Farms - your peaceful private retreat awaits. Peace of mind included: move in with confidence - this home has been well maintained, with a new roof ('23), sump pump ('26), ejector pump ('25), septic tank pumped ('25), and garage door opener ('26).
