Nothing has been overlooked in this classic, yet "better than new" cape in Elmhurst! The interior was completely renovated in 2012 by a quality contractor, and since then the owners have installed a new roof, income producing solar panels, A/C, Andersen windows throughout, and new French doors in the formal dining room leading to a trex deck in the rear. This opens up to a spacious and pleasant backyard with garden beds. Outside you'll find a two-car garage with a potting shed in back, in-ground sprinklers and plenty of off-street parking. The interior boasts hardwoods in the living room, dining room, and bedrooms, the master bedroom features a walk-in closet plus cedar closet, the bright kitchen has been tastefully remodelled with granite countertop, island, and stainless appliances. Off of the kitchen is a cozy den with a brick fireplace. The lower level is 3/4 finished into a large rec room/family room with bulkhead exit to full-size door. This home is meticulously maintained and truly in move-in condition! Call now for your private showing.
