About this home
Welcome to this modern farmhouse on a quiet cul-de-sac street with a private, 3/4-acre wooded lot in the desirable village of Shorewood. Less than one mile from the Dupage River hiking trail, Hammel Woods Kayak launch, and Four Seasons Toboggon Hill, this high and dry property is surrounded by nature and enjoyable for everyone year-round. Just 2.5 miles from the I-80, I-55 junction, this property is positioned at the crossroads of America, making commuting, shopping, and travel a breeze. The tree-lined entrance and thoughtfully landscaped grounds invite you into an everyday retreat. Upon entrance, you are warmly greeted by a bright, open floor plan flooded with natural light. The foyer, dining room, and kitchen seamlessly connect, leading to an inviting, private backyard. The spacious kitchen and dining room boast abundant counter space and cabinets that complement the solid Hickory hardwood flooring. A relaxing breakfast nook overlooks a peaceful side-yard garden pond and waterfall. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms. The primary bedroom suite has a luxury attached bath and glass sliding doors shaded by a retractable outside awning leading to a private, multi-level deck surrounding a new 15'x 30' above-ground swimming pool, with a new state-of-the-art robot vacuum for easy maintenance. Downstairs is a second updated bathroom and a spacious 26'x22' family room with a lime-washed brick wood-burning fireplace and continued Hickory hardwood flooring. The room stays naturally cool all summer, saving on cooling costs. A finished basement with reclaimed painted barn board and complimentary sliding barn doors leads to a massive storage closet. An bonus room with a soundproof ceiling, bathed in natural light, doubles as a music studio or quiet home office. This property includes an additional 12'x12' wood building with a raised wood floor, cedar shake roof, double-hung windows, storm door entrance, and supplied electricity, perfect for a she-shed or tiny house. Currently, the space functions as a henhouse with an attached enclosed chicken run and a large fenced area for free-ranging flock of laying hens that produce 15+ eggs daily. The hens and all supplies are included in the home sale; however, at the purchaser's request, they can be removed and the building cleared. The back portion of the yard is enclosed by a 4" chicken wire fence.
