Welcome home to this move-in ready, impeccably maintained sprawling ranch offering over 2,000 square feet of comfortable living space in the highly sought-after Plainfield School District with the benefit of low Joliet taxes. Situated on a private one-third acre lot with no rear neighbors, a vacant lot next door, mature trees, and professional landscaping, this home feels like your own wooded retreat while remaining just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and I-55. Inside you'll find newer luxury vinyl plank flooring, newer carpet, a newer refrigerator and dishwasher, a spacious eat-in kitchen with abundant cabinetry and storage, a separate dining room, and a huge primary suite featuring two closets and a luxurious bath with a whirlpool tub, separate shower, and upgraded cabinetry. The versatile bonus room is currently used as a home gym but can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom, while the third bedroom offers an attached dressing room for additional flexibility. A generously sized laundry room provides plenty of space for folding and hanging clothes along with a beautiful view of the backyard. Outside, enjoy the large fenced yard with a storage shed, outdoor speaker system, and peaceful wildlife views. The impressive 25'4" x 23'4" garage includes a gas hookup, cabinets and shelving that will remain with the home, and a roof approximately five years old. Additional updates include gutters and downspouts approximately five years old and the house roof approximately ten years old that is in great condition, making this exceptional property truly ready for its next owners.
