Welcome to your own private retreat in the heart of town - a true paradise setting designed for those who love outdoor living, entertaining, and space for every hobby. Thoughtfully renovated and full of surprises, this 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath home with a 3.5 garage offers far more than meets the eye. Step through the private foyer, leave the weather behind, and enter a warm, inviting sitting or formal dining area. Just beyond, the spacious living room features surround sound and an electric fireplace with a tuner included. The adjacent three-season/game room is where the magic begins - an incredible flex space perfect for entertaining, working from home, or simply unwinding. A private hot tub room with mood lighting and ventilation creates a spa-like escape, while the wet bar and additional fireplace make this the ultimate gathering spot. From here, step out to the backyard oasis - a fully realized outdoor living experience. Dine in the outdoor kitchenette with a gas grill, relax around the fire pit, or enjoy the beautifully landscaped yard with programmable LED lighting for summer evenings. There's even a screened porch for quiet mornings or shaded afternoons. For hobbyists, collectors, or anyone needing serious storage, the 3.5-car garage (21x37) is a dream come true, complemented by an 11x11 shed for tools and equipment. The driveway, lined with a privacy fence, can even accommodate an RV or work truck. Inside, the custom kitchen is a showstopper with Trex deck access, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a walk-in pantry. Enjoy meals overlooking the backyard retreat. A full bath with a first-floor laundry sits conveniently near the rear entrance. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom offers serene views of the yard, joined by two additional bedrooms and a luxurious bath with a separate shower and jetted tub. The full basement with a half bath provides excellent storage and flexibility. This home has been extensively updated: new windows, reframed and drywalled walls to code, modern recessed lighting, updated electrical, copper plumbing, semismart lighting controls, roof (2025) and more - see owner's notes. Every improvement was done with care and intention. Close to I-88, NIU, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and recreation, this property is ideal for anyone seeking space, privacy, and a place to entertain - along with room for all the toys, tools, and vehicles. A truly unique in-town paradise.
