Meticulous planning and perfectly executed details radiate appeal from the curb and throughout the home. Wonderful in town location on a dead end street and within walking distance to the train, Wheaton College, parks & downtown Wheaton. The charm of this aesthetically pleasing, mid century cottage has been improved with the repainting of the interior in a modern palette, new lighting, beautiful hardwood & new hardware. The living room welcomes family and friends with arches that beckon guests towards the heart of the home. The kitchen boasts 42" cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances including a Viking gas cooktop, slate flooring and a huge pantry. The dining room has an exposed brick wall and opens into the spacious family room featuring a vaulted ceiling, lots of natural light and access to the oversize deck with a pergola. Two bedrooms and a brand new, full bath complete the main level. Upstairs the master suite is an oasis of peace and privacy. The bedroom has plenty of space and the small room adjacent to the master works well as a nursery or walk in closet. The upstairs bath has dual sinks and a really nice shower. The basement is finished with a big rec room, laundry area with folding space and storage. The backyard is huge with a new 6' privacy fence. All this in a friendly neighborhood too! Please see "Additional Information" for list of capital improvements.
