This charming ranch home in the desirable Villa Park neighborhood combines classic character with modern updates. With easy access to parks and the light rail, convenience is at your doorstep. The oversized 2-car garage is a standout feature, finished with insulated flooring, a mini split system, and versatile space that can be used as an office, gym, or workshop while still accommodating a vehicle. Inside, the home exudes warmth with an open living and dining area, connected by beautiful hardwood floors and a crisp neutral color palette. The bright and sunny space invites relaxation and is perfect for entertaining. The modern kitchen features ample storage with gray cabinetry & open shelving, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a stylish stainless apron sink with a pull-down faucet. Butcher block countertops add a touch of warmth, and the door to the backyard leads to an extensive covered patio, ideal for outdoor dining. Two cozy bedrooms with hardwood floors share a fully updated bath, offering comfort and style. This home has undergone numerous updates, including a new sewer line, kitchen, bathroom, refinished flooring, and interior paint in 2018, as well as attic insulation. In 2020, the exterior was refreshed with new vinyl siding, a retaining wall, a flagstone path, and a new front porch roof. A tankless water heater and whole house/attic fan were added in 2020 and 2021, respectively. The electrical panel was updated to 200 amps in 2022, along with the installation of a radon mitigation system, insulated and encapsulated crawl space, and the finishing of the garage with the mini split system. In 2023, the water line was updated, and in 2024, a high-efficiency natural gas furnace and air source heat pump were installed. This move-in-ready home blends charm and modern convenience, making it a true gem in Villa Park.
