A HOME THAT TRULY STANDS APART! Offering over 3,500 SQ FT of finished living space, 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a floor plan unlike anything else on the market, this Des Plaines home is packed with possibilities. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for more than 25 years, every level offers space to live, work, entertain, and grow. A first-floor bedroom and full bath create the perfect setup for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living, while TWO dedicated home offices make working from home effortless. Upstairs, additional plumbing is already in place for the possibility of a 4th full bathroom. Need even more space? The finished basement features a SECOND KITCHEN and additional living areas, opening the door to endless possibilities. Best of all, this home sits on its OWN PRIVATE STREET, giving you a level of privacy that's incredibly hard to find while still being minutes from downtown Des Plaines, O'Hare, Metra, shopping, dining, parks, and major expressways. The kitchen, bathrooms, and major mechanicals have already been updated, allowing you to move in and make the rest your own. Forget cookie-cutter, if you're looking for SIZE, VERSATILITY, PRIVACY, and a home with true character, you've found it. Homes like this simply don't come around often!
