About the Listing 85774 - 123351,84004

Welcome home to this beautifully maintained single-family residence in the heart of Des Plaines, where 1925 craftsmanship meets the comfort and convenience today's buyers seek. From the moment you arrive, this home's vintage character and pride of ownership are unmistakable-and with a fresh, neutral coat of paint throughout, it's truly move-in ready. Step inside to discover gleaming hardwood floors that flow through the home's generous living spaces, lending warmth and a quality you simply don't find in newer construction. With 5 well-proportioned bedrooms and 2 baths spread across 2,108 square feet, there's room for everyone here-whether you're growing into the space, hosting extended family, or carving out a dedicated home office or guest room. At the center of it all is a newer kitchen, ready for everything from quick weekday meals to holiday gatherings, with a large formal dining room right alongside it to comfortably host friends and family. Comfort is covered in every season thanks to a 2024 energy-efficient heat pump providing central air. Downstairs, a full basement offers a rare blank canvas brimming with potential. Picture a spacious family room, a rec area, a media lounge, a home gym, or a play space-whatever suits your lifestyle. The footprint is there; all it needs is your vision to bring it to life and add even more functional living space to an already generous home. Outside, the home sits on a sizable 7,500-square-foot lot, offering plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, garden, or entertain-or simply relax on the 250-square-foot deck. The setting places you in one of Des Plaines' established, tree-lined neighborhoods, close to everything that makes the area so desirable. You'll find nearby schools-a major draw for families-along with downtown Des Plaines, the Metra station for a convenient commute into the city, plus parks, shopping, dining, and everyday essentials all within easy reach. Lovingly cared for and ready for its next chapter, this home delivers a winning combination of warmth, smart updates, and an unbeatable location. Opportunities like this-where character, space, and convenience come together-don't last long. Come see it for yourself and imagine the possibilities
