Set in the heart of Clarendon Hills, recently named the #1 Best Suburb to Raise a Family in America by Niche, this beautifully maintained all-brick home offers an exceptional combination of location, character and thoughtful updates. Just a quick walk to Hosek Park and conveniently located near top-rated schools and the train, 447 Ridge Avenue is perfectly positioned to enjoy everything that makes this community so special. Inside, a gracious living room is anchored by a beautifully updated fireplace with a new surround, hearth and custom built-in display cabinetry. The open dining room and first-floor flex room create inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining, while the updated kitchen features GE Profile stainless steel appliances, full-extension cabinetry, granite countertops, a newer backsplash and water-purification system. New lighting throughout and extensive interior painting further refresh the home. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue into the primary suite with custom Elfa closets and a renovated en suite bathroom featuring heated floors, quartz countertops, Carrara marble tile, a glass-enclosed shower and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms and an updated hall bathroom complete the second floor, including newer hardwood flooring and additional Elfa closet organization. The finished lower level has been recently refreshed with new carpeting and offers a fourth bedroom, full bathroom and private laundry room with newer washer and dryer. Behind the scenes, the home has been equally well cared for, with a new roof in 2020, attic re-insulation, newer water heater and A/C serviced in summer 2026. Outside, years of thoughtful improvements have created equally inviting surroundings. Extensive landscaping includes hydrangeas, boxwoods, clematis, daylilies, tulips and daffodils, complemented by a retaining wall, expanded patio, newer shed and pathway. Front patio pavers, an all-brick rear patio, cedar privacy fence and insulated 2.5-car garage complete this exceptionally well-maintained Clarendon Hills home.
