Beautifully appointed with charm, character, and thoughtful updates throughout, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath custom-built home has been lovingly maintained and remodeled by its original owners since being built in 2005. From the detailed trim and wainscoting to warm cedar accents, quality craftsmanship is evident throughout. The updated kitchen features new gunmetal appliances, while beautiful oak flooring extends throughout much of the main level. The open-concept eat-in kitchen and family room flow effortlessly to an enchanting AZEK deck, creating the perfect setting for entertaining while overlooking the exceptionally private and thoughtfully landscaped backyard. The outdoor setting is truly special, offering a remarkable variety of mature trees and plantings that provide a kaleidoscope of color, texture, and privacy throughout the seasons. Autumn Blaze and Red Maples, Japanese Maple, Colorado Blue and Green Spruce, White Pine, River Birch, Shagbark Hickory, Arborvitae, flowering Bradford Pear, Hardy Catalpa, Hemlock, towering Red Oaks, and a massive Honey Locust are just some of the varieties found throughout the property. Entertainment continues in the walkout lower level, complete with a bar and direct access to the covered outdoor room, patio, and fire pit. Enjoy movies, concerts, and game days from the comfort of your own in-home theater. An additional basement room currently serves as a woodworking shop but offers excellent flexibility as a potential 5th bedroom, exercise room, hobby space, or craft room. Upstairs you'll find all four bedrooms along with beautifully updated bathrooms, including a recently remodeled primary suite shower. Storage is abundant, including the spacious area above the garage with standing room and plenty of space for boxes, seasonal items, and more. Major improvements provide added peace of mind, including roof in 2020, furnace in 2023, a high-efficiency tankless water heater and new siding in 2025. And the location is hard to beat! Just steps to the Fox River Grove Metra station & to Foxmoor Park, and approximately a quarter mile from grocery shopping, restaurants, and the exciting future redevelopment of downtown Fox River Grove. Located within highly sought-after District 3 and Cary-Grove High School boundaries. Custom craftsmanship, incredible entertaining spaces, a spectacular private setting, extensive updates, and an outstanding in-town location-this is the one that wins your heart.
