Welcome to 236 Maplewood Road, a beautifully maintained 1914 Colonial offering 5 bedrooms and 3 full, 2 half baths, set on a premier riverfront lot backing directly to the Des Plaines River. Lovingly cared for by only four owners, this home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates and tranquil views from nearly every window. Step inside to classic architectural details including original French doors and rich hardwood flooring. The beam-ceiling dining room sets a warm and elegant tone for gatherings. The gracious living room is centered around a custom oak mantel and gas fireplace, with expansive windows that frame serene views of mature trees and the river beyond. The fully renovated kitchen (2022) features custom Amish cabinetry, a stunning picture window overlooking the backyard, and updated finishes designed for both beauty and function. A newly added main-level powder room (2022) adds convenience. Upstairs, spacious bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, including a beautifully renovated primary bath (2021) with quality finishes and thoughtful design. Custom closet systems enhance organization, and natural light continues to define the home's inviting atmosphere. The finished third floor provides a private bedroom and full bath - ideal for guests, extended family, or a quiet home office retreat. This level offers versatility while maintaining privacy from the main living areas. The finished basement includes a recreation room, providing additional living and entertaining space. Mechanical updates include a new attic furnace (2024), Bradford White water heater (2020), and backflow valve with ejector pump (2020). Step outside to a rear deck overlooking the river, perfect for entertaining or enjoying peaceful mornings. The professionally landscaped yard, new sod, and mature trees create a truly exceptional setting. A two-car garage completes the property. All of this is located within walking distance to the train, award-winning schools, parks, and charming local shops.
