Welcome to this reimagined mid-century Elmhurst ranch home located in an established and convenient neighborhood. Completed in February 2026, this thoughtfully remodeled 1,610 square foot home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a 2-car attached garage, and expansive basement with an estimated additional 773 square feet of finished space. The small footprint packs a punch and utilizes every square inch to make this home work for the needs of today's busy homeowners. Behind the gorgeous new front door, a convenient drop zone with sage green cabinet storage, slat divider, and handy bench keeps the home organized. Walk into the newly opened, redesigned layout featuring warm wide-plank white oak hardwood flooring that provides light, function, and durable years of use in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and hallway. Above, the hand-stained original and new wood beams unite the area with an impressive vaulted ceiling providing authentic mid-century modern vibes. New white interior doors with black hardware provide continuity and polish throughout. The open-plan kitchen features plentiful dove 42" upper cabinets with custom mid-century inspired exhaust hood and trim, decorative shelving, striking laurel fern porcelain satin tile backsplash, and expansive Santorini quartz counters showcased by plentiful natural light. New stainless appliances include fridge, dishwasher, and slide-in gas range as the crown jewel. Seating four easily, enjoy the 7' island with microwave, lit by a stunning 22-globe bubble chandelier. A cabinet pantry provides ample storage and the adjacent dining area features an aged brass chandelier. The focal point of the living room is the electric fireplace framed with statement-making large format Pietra Di Marmi ribbed ceramic tile. The modern chandelier completes this gathering space. Pausing here provides a beautiful vantage point to appreciate the charming bright and airy layout. At the end of the hallway, the carpeted primary bedroom with vaulted ceiling, sconces flanking the king-size bed, and coordinating ceiling light provide a spacious feel with large closet. The redesigned ensuite features vaulted ceilings, furniture-style warm wood vanity with gold fixtures and globe lights, and custom glass shower done with striking earthy deep blue-green vertical stacked tiles. Each of the two additional bedrooms have beautiful vaulted ceilings, new carpeting, closets with shelving and motion-sensor lights, and new wall-switch activated globe ceiling light fixtures. The hall bath glows with ice blue and patterned tile surrounding the new tub, white countertop over wood cabinetry, black fixtures, and tile flooring. For peace of mind, 2026 installations include new windows and exterior doors, garage door, Carrier high-efficiency furnace, 200 amp electrical panel with arc fault, and voice annunciator interconnected smoke/carbon monoxide detectors. Private yard includes cozy courtyard with slider door access to main living area. The sizable basement features a large L-shaped versatile carpeted rec room with separate laundry area including washer, dryer, and utility sink. Unfinished basement spaces include separate storage room, mechanical room with new sump pump, and partial crawl space.
