This stunning 3-bedroom + office, 3-bathroom home offers 2,218 square feet of beautifully designed living space, blending thoughtful architecture with premium finishes throughout. The first floor was gut-renovated down to the studs in 2015 with high-end materials and quality craftsmanship, while a striking second-floor addition was completed in 2025, adding two large bedrooms with ensuite baths. The primary bath is luxurious with a soaking tub, sleek glass shower and double sinks. The addition also includes an unfinished attic with unique roof lines that offers the potential for a third floor in the future, pending city approval. The architecturally distinctive exterior features bold rooflines, Hardy Board and stone cladding, steel roof accents, and a charming covered front porch with composite decking and wood soffits. Inside, enjoy open-concept living centered around a massive kitchen with natural quartzite counters, soft-close solid maple cabinetry, large island with bar seating, and Samsung Bespoke refrigerator and oven. Enjoy the convenience of having a first floor bedroom and office with vaulted ceilings, direct access to the backyard, and color-changing electric fireplace. Also on the main level is a large bathroom with double sinks, soaking tub, and separate glass shower as well as a very practical mudroom with built-ins and access to the backyard and garage off of the alley. There are Pella wood and aluminum cladded windows in the second floor addition and in a few windows on the first floor. Solid pre-finished white oak floors from Canada are specifically selected to have no knots in the wood grain, giving the floors a crisp and polished look. The outside of the home is equally impressive. The oversized 3-car insulated garage, built in 2017, includes a lofted storage area, a 12-foot two-car door and roughly 13 feet ceilings, and a regular single garage door. There is also an additional exterior space for a boat or vehicle. The fully fenced backyard is an entertainer's dream with a pergola and a composite deck, above-ground pool, vegetable garden, and lush landscaping. The home is equipped with newer 200-amp electrical, Lennox HVAC and a massive water heater with a recirculating pump. Multiple cameras with server and monitor also included in sale. Great location in rapidly developing Des Plaines close to everything including the downtown area, metra, restaurants, shopping, parks, bike trails, etc.
