The story
- Basement
Classic Colonial charm, a private wooded setting and nearly 1/2 acre in desirable Wild Rose - this one just feels like home. Tucked among mature trees, this beautiful property has the space, privacy and personality that make this St. Charles neighborhood so special. Lovingly maintained by long-time owners, this two-story residence features hardwood floors on both levels, spacious rooms, classic architectural details and plenty of room to make it your own. The inviting kitchen has been refreshed with Corian countertops, backsplash and a large pantry that holds it all, while the comfortable family room is ready for everything from casual nights in to entertaining a crowd. A fireplace converted to gas logs adds warmth and ambiance. Bookshelves, crown molding and ceiling fans add to the home's character and comfort. All bedrooms are conveniently located upstairs. The almost-finished basement expands the living space with room for an office, workout area, playroom or hangout space, plus plenty of storage - including a cedar closet for keeping special treasures & clothes tucked away. Outside, the private-like backyard is your own little escape, surrounded by greenery and mature trees. The patio has plenty of room for a dining table and BBQ, making summer entertaining a breeze. A horseshoe driveway adds convenience and plenty of parking.
