Description

Every home has a history-few have one this thoughtfully written. Custom built and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this exceptional residence offers over 2,900 square feet of finished living space where quality craftsmanship, thoughtful improvements, and pride of ownership shine throughout. Step inside to a home designed for the way people truly live. Rich hardwood flooring with decorative inlays, solid six-panel oak doors with matching oak casings, inviting gathering spaces, and a warm gas fireplace create an inviting atmosphere, while the updated eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, a full appliance package, a pantry closet, additional pull-out pantry storage, and an effortless connection to the heart of the home. First-floor laundry and a convenient half bath add everyday functionality, while neutral paint colors and timeless finishes provide a versatile backdrop for any decor. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer comfort and privacy for everyone. The spacious primary suite serves as a relaxing retreat, highlighted by a beautifully remodeled bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, double closets, and stylish finishes. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the home's versatility with a large recreation room, recessed and sconce lighting, Bose 10 speaker system, dedicated office or flex room, full bathroom, and abundant storage-perfect for today's evolving lifestyle. Outdoors, the same attention to detail is evident. A welcoming covered front porch is the ideal place to enjoy your morning coffee or greet neighbors, while the brand-new low-maintenance deck provides a wonderful space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the beautifully landscaped backyard. Significant recent investments, including a new furnace and central air conditioning (2025), a maintenance-free deck (2025), and sump pump (2025), allow you to move in with confidence and enjoy the home from day one. Perfectly situated across from DeKalb Middle School and just blocks from the elementary school, parks, shopping, dining, and convenient access to Interstate 88, the location is as practical as it is desirable. Homes that have been custom built, meticulously cared for, and enjoyed by the same owner for decades rarely become available. This is more than a place to live-it's a home that has been lovingly preserved and is ready to welcome its next chapter.
