Beautiful and rarely available 5 bed, 4 1/2 bath home in the highly coveted Nitti Berteau development. The heart of downtown Elmhurst, East End park and pool, and soon to be brand new Field Elementary School (opening in 2023-2024 school year) are all just a few blocks away. The welcoming front porch on this modern farmhouse greets you as you enter the meticulously maintained and significantly upgraded home. The first floor has 10 ft ceilings, hardwood floors, Wolf/Subzero appliances, plantation shutters, professional designer touches and intricate millwork throughout. You will absolutely enjoy the open floorplan and flow between the kitchen, family room and dining room. The spacious home office offers work-from-home flexibility and the oversized mudroom is both stylish and functional. The sliding glass doors off the kitchen open to a stunning and professionally landscaped backyard. The recently added outdoor patio, pergola, firepit and grill station are an entertainer's dream. In addition to the shaded dining area under the pergola, the island off the grill station comfortably seats the whole family and there is additional room to gather around the gas fire pit. Importantly, there is still plenty of green space for kids and pets to run around in the fully fenced backyard. Upstairs are 4 large bedrooms each with walk-in closets and plantation shutters. The primary suite features two large closets and bath with two sinks, makeup area, oversized shower, soaking tub and private water closet. There are two additional bathrooms, one en suite and one jack and jill. A laundry room with a utility sink and plenty of storage completes the space. The recently finished lower level features a bedroom, full bathroom, exercise room, recreation room with home theater 92" projection TV and surround sound speakers, and wet bar with granite countertops and beverage fridge. The use of space is thoughtfully planned and no detail has been overlooked. The layout of the bar stools/island allows you to talk with friends and family on the couch or comfortably watch the big game/movie night, and there is even a dedicated A/V cabinet to hide away all of the equipment. Make sure you don't miss the unexpected secret space behind the built-in bookshelf! This home has it all - garage with epoxy-coated flooring and elevated storage space, lawn irrigation system, dual zone HVAC, Ring doorbell and smart thermostats. Truly a one of a kind home in a neighborhood with dozens of young kids running around, and in the heart of Elmhurst, with easy access to the downtown restaurants, movie theater, and Metra!
