Tucked into the desirable Countryside East subdivision, this beautifully updated 4-bed, 2.5-bath modified split-level home offers 2,333 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed finished living space. From the moment you arrive, you'll know you've found something special. From its new front door to its Pella windows, this home, situated on a semi-cul-de-sac lot w/ mature landscaping, delivers curb appeal, style, comfort, and convenience in equal measure. Step into the freshly painted foyer and main level, where rich engineered hardwood flooring and crown molding (added 2021) set the tone for timeless style and warmth. The inviting living / dining areas are perfect for entertaining, while the heart of the home, a charming farmhouse-inspired kitchen, boasts newer "slow-close" cabinetry with "Lazy Susan" corner cabinet, under-cabinet lighting, LG stainless steel appliances, a cozy built-in breakfast nook with extra storage drawers, a large pantry cabinet, and gorgeous quartz countertops (2022). The cabinets were tastefully refaced with white uppers and blue lowers for an elegant designer touch. Downstairs, the finished family room provides the ideal setting for gatherings or game/movie nights. Enjoy the ambiance of the custom brick gas-log fireplace or unwind at the granite-topped wet bar, complete with a mini-bar refrigerator. This level also features a separate laundry room w/sink, a cedar closet, and access to a large crawl space for additional storage. Upstairs, the primary suite is your personal retreat with two separate walk-in closets and a private en-suite bath featuring a whirlpool tub/shower combo. The additional bedrooms are generously sized, including a flexible 4th bedroom perfect for guests, an office, or in-law setup. All bedrooms have been updated with fresh paint and newer carpet (2020-2023), and the upper hallway features hardwood flooring and newer closet doors (2021). Step outside to your large entertainer's backyard, where an aggregate concrete patio with built-in gas line invites year-round grilling - no more propane tank runs! A professionally installed plant bed retaining wall adds structure and beauty to the landscape, while the partially fenced yard offers privacy and plenty of room to play. Additional updates/amenities include: beautiful engineered hardwood flooring (2021), baseboards and interior doors (2021), white trim paint (2021), new front door (2024), exterior shutters painted (2022), new garage door (2016), high-efficiency furnace (2022), and a high-efficiency 50 gallon water heater. The home also includes a sump-pump, Ring doorbell, Ring flood camera, deep freezer (in utility room), and mini-bar fridge. This home is minutes from downtown Lake Zurich which just underwent a significant $4+ million streetscape renovation along Main Street, transforming it with wider sidewalks, new landscaping, angled parking, pedestrian-friendly features like crosswalks, and underground infrastructure upgrades (water/sewer) to create a more vibrant, walkable heart for the village, part of a larger revitalization effort including new development and promenade. Downtown is also home to actual "Lake Zurich", a ~230-acre spring-fed lake that's a hub for recreation like boating, fishing, swimming at Paulus Park, and community events like Alpine Fest. This home is also perfectly located near the Richard Staples Sports Complex, Buffalo Creek Park, Ela Soccer Club, Lake Zurich Library, and top-rated District 95 Schools - including Lake Zurich High School and the acclaimed Sarah Adams Elementary School (rated #65 Best Elementary School in Illinois!). Minutes from Route 12, you'll have easy access to dining, shopping, and commuting routes to make your daily life easy and enjoyable. This home has it all - updates, layout, schools, and a lifestyle that balances charm and functionality. While the pictures are awesome, this adorable home shows even better in person!
