All split levels are not created equally! When you first walk up to this one-of-a-kind home you will be WOWED! This house offers 4 bedroom and 2 full/2 half baths. As you walk up the stairs you are greeted with a formal dining room that opens up to the large eat-in kitchen. The kitchen measures 25x12 and features a ton of cabinets, granite countertops, tile backsplash, cooktop stove, wall oven, built in microwave, trash compactor and high-end refrigerator. Great family room with a fireplace and lots of natural lighting in every single room. There is a bedroom/office with its own private half bath near the family room. Down the hall there are 3 additional bedrooms and 2 full remodeled bathrooms. The lower level has 2 great spaces so use your imagination as you please. In the lower-level family room there is a 2nd fireplace plus laundry, half bath and storage down there. Large 2 car attached side load garage. Outside is a backyard oasis complete with 2 decks, large patio, very manageable in-ground heated swimming pool and hot tub. This area is very private and secluded. Updates include roof in 2020, furnace and air conditioner 2018, 50-gallon water heater 2022, pool liner 2021, pool heater 2016, pool pump motor 2025. Great location near Parkside elementary/jr high and Normal Community West high school. For 22 years the same owners have meticulously maintained this home. Must See!
