Description
Updated Cape Cod on beautiful Longcommon Road, winding through Frederick Olmsted's Riverside-one of the country's first planned communities. This charming 2-bedroom home features hardwood floors throughout, with a convenient powder room and a sunroom on the main floor that opens up to an artfully landscaped rear yard. It's a space that's sure to delight you throughout the seasons. The kitchen boasts updated (2015) shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. A standout feature is the butler's pantry, which was added in 2021. Upstairs, you'll find a full updated hallway bath (2015) and the primary bedroom, which has its own private rooftop deck facing west-perfect for enjoying those evening sunsets and the lush yard below. The detached two-car garage received some upgrades too with a new overhead door, insulated interior, heater, drywall, and extra electric (220 subpanel) added in 2021. Fresh paint fills the home, and the mantel of the living room fireplace has been stripped to reveal its original finish and character (2025). Downstairs, the basement includes a cozy family room, separate flex room ideal for a workout space or office and a large utility are with laundry and loads of storage. The walkout access lead to the rear yard. Additional upgrades throughout include a restructured front foyer that opens up the entrances to the living and dining rooms and provides a coat closet, updated electrical (2025), blown-in insulation in the attic (2022), and A/C (2023). Since 1970, the village has held the National Historic Landmark designation, boasting many parks and expansive greenways along the Des Plaines River, plus a downtown filled with exciting shops, restaurants, a library, and a pool. Getting to the heart of Chicago is a breeze-just a quick 15 minutes via the BNSF Metra. Other area highlights include the internationally known Brookfield Zoo and Ottawa Trail Woods.
