Open Houses

Description

Designed and built by BrightLeaf Homes in 2020, this exceptional newer-construction residence blends sophisticated design, high-performance efficiency, and an unbeatable walkable lifestyle just steps from the Metra, EL, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of Madison Street. Thoughtfully crafted with comfort and entertaining in mind, the home offers a bright, airy feel with soaring 10' ceilings, expansive windows, and an incredibly functional open-concept layout. The entire main level was designed for seamless everyday living and entertaining, featuring a completely open floor plan that effortlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and family room into one expansive gathering space filled with natural light. At the center of it all is a beautifully designed kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and an oversized eat-at island perfect for casual dining, hosting, or morning coffee. Just off the kitchen, a thoughtfully designed mudroom with built-ins creates the perfect everyday drop zone, complemented by a conveniently located powder room nearby for guests and daily living alike. Rich hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level, and custom closet systems elevate storage throughout the home. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a relaxing retreat complete with an oversized walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and second-floor laundry provide an ideal layout for everyday living. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility with a beautifully finished entertainment space, an additional bedroom, full bath, and generous storage. Unlike traditional attached homes, the garage rooftop deck separates the residences, eliminating shared living walls and creating an added sense of privacy rarely found in this style of home. Outdoor spaces are enhanced with durable Trex decking and stairs, while the garage is wired for a future electric vehicle charger installation. Designed for modern living, the home also incorporates thoughtful smart-home features including solar panels, a WiFi-enabled garage door opener, Ring video doorbell, and electronic keypad entry locks on all exterior doors for added convenience and peace of mind. A full-house fire sprinkler system adds another layer of safety and reflects the upgraded standards and quality construction found throughout the home. EPA EnergyStar and DOE Zero Energy Ready certifications further showcase the home's advanced insulation, air sealing, energy efficiency, and exceptional indoor air quality. Quiet, comfortable, healthy, and remarkably efficient, this is a home that truly stands apart. Fee simple ownership with no HOA dues adds even more appeal to this one-of-a-kind offering.
