The paneled Library has a partially coffered ceiling and is lined with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. With new French doors, the Library doubles as a spacious home office or ground-floor Guest Room, thanks to the adjacent full bath. There is plenty of room for a pull-out sofa. A new accessible shower is closed off from the Powder Room with a frosted glass pocket door. Upstairs, the Bedrooms are large enough for a queen-size bed plus additional seating, a desk, and a dresser. A spacious Hall Bath has a double vanity and an enormous linen closet.

An enclosed yet large laundry and mechanical room offers great utility, and a laundry chute serving the upper levels of the home provides tremendous convenience. With a formal lawn in front, the backyard is designed for outdoor entertaining, playtime, and relaxation. Beautiful perennial gardens bloom throughout the seasons, and the patio is the perfect spot to relax under the shade of the mature trees or in the golden-hour glow at sunset. The two-car garage with newly epoxied floor has more than enough room for family gear. Many recent updates include a new roof and HVAC. Perfectly located near schools, parks, NIU, shopping, and more.
