27W154 Chartwell Drive

Would you like a new HOME for the HOLIDAYS in highly-desirable Winfield, IL? Presenting a rare opportunity in Fredericksburg Farm to own a south-facing 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath Cape Cod residence! This property boasts the ultimate location about one mile north of the Winfield Metra station connecting to Ogilvie Transportation Center in downtown Chicago, Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital, and the quaint shops and restaurants Winfield is known for. About a block away, Chartwell Park includes a recently updated playground, and the 2025 renovation of the neighborhood's larger Oakwood Park includes new pickleball courts, playground, sand volleyball courts, pond improvements, and more amenities. Also nearby are multiple trails, forest preserves and the riverwalk park. The current owners have carefully maintained this home for the last 17.5 years. As you approach, take notice of the two-car garage, mature trees and perennial landscaping. The exterior of the home displays a neutral color scheme, two bay windows, and three dormer windows. Step into the foyer and feel the warmth of the decor, solid six-panel oak doors throughout, and gleaming hardwood floors that flow into most of the first floor. The traditional floor plan features a formal dining room and living room at the front of the home. At the rear of the first floor, you will be wowed by the open layout of the large family room, breakfast area, and kitchen. The highlight of the family room is the gas-starter, wood-burning fireplace accented by floor-to-ceiling brick and built-in wood shelves and pleasing custom wood beams on the ceiling. A wet bar is centrally located among these rooms. Raised-panel oak cabinets line the walls of the kitchen, and the peninsula has dual-sided storage. You can enjoy a planning desk with drawers as one of many options to work from home. The appliances are top name brands like Whirlpool, Maytag, and Sharp. The refrigerator is new (2025). The washer and dryer are nearby in a nicely sized laundry closet opposite the pantry and garage access. The second floor features four spacious bedrooms. Two secondary bedrooms have the extra floor space of the dormer windows, and a third secondary bedroom features hardwood flooring. A full hall bath has neutral colors and finishes. From the upstairs hallway, access the extra storage of a linen closet or overlook the two-story foyer with its dormer-window view and open oak railings on the stairs. The primary suite has a view of the backyard and its mature trees. A walk-in closet and full, private bath complete this area. It only gets better as you head downstairs to the huge finished basement. The recreation room has so many possibilities with an area wired for a projector and home theater and space for large couches or seating. A built-in bar with sink, beverage refrigerator and tiled floor round out a true entertainment experience. A full bath in the basement makes it possible for guests to stay in this space or create another sleeping room in the future. The serene backyard is 3/4 fenced; all you need to do is add one side gate. A beautiful paver patio and sidewalks were added during my seller's ownership. The rear wood deck has been meticulously maintained. All of this and you have easy access to County Farm Road and its corridor of dining, shopping, and more. Homes are rarely for sale in this neighborhood, so now is your chance. Come and see it soon!
