Welcome home to this beautifully maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch on a landscaped corner lot in the heart of Wheaton, offering over 2,200 square feet of finished living space and a layout that truly lives large. Modern neutral decor pairs perfectly with hardwood and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, while the spacious living room with fireplace flows into the adjacent dining room, creating a warm, inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. The eat-in kitchen opens to the family room, and two main-floor bedrooms include the primary suite with a new lighted ceiling fan, plus an updated hall bathroom. The full finished basement adds incredible flexibility with a rec room accented by wall sconces, dedicated space for a home office, a third bedroom with egress window, and a second full bath. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard and huge patio, ideal for summer gatherings, along with a 1-car attached garage and floored attic storage. Major updates include new roof, siding, and gutters in 2024, new sump pump in 2023, along with a new garage, exterior outlets, electrical panel, and newer flooring in the kitchen and family room. Ideally located near parks, schools, Metra train service, shopping, and dining, all within award-winning Wheaton schools, this well-cared-for home checks every box for comfort, convenience, and long-term peace of mind.
