Property Description

After years as a rental, we're excited to offer a freshly updated and modernized home now available for sale! Nestled on a quiet stretch of Melrose in one of Kenilworth's most sought-after neighborhoods, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated home offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the North Shore lifestyle at an attractive price point. Blending timeless character with modern functionality, this sun-filled residence lives far larger than its exterior suggests, featuring 3 bedrooms plus a versatile lower-level 4th bedroom, 3.1 bathrooms, and multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces designed for today's lifestyle. Natural light pours through oversized windows, illuminating newly refinished hardwood floors, high ceilings, and inviting interiors throughout. The welcoming living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and updated kitchen, where granite countertops, newer stainless-steel appliances, double ovens, and ample workspace make everyday living and entertaining effortless. The dining room opens directly to a separate family room, anchored by a gas fireplace, built-in shelving, and vaulted ceilings. Off the family room is a private deck ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation, leading to an exceptionally deep, private backyard, creating the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings, play, or quiet evenings at home. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with vaulted ceilings, a beautifully updated ensuite bath featuring a double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath. At the same time, the lower level offers outstanding flexibility with a family room, guest suite or 4th bedroom, full bath, laundry/mudroom, and exterior access-perfect for guests, work-from-home needs, or recreation. Recent improvements include newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint throughout, updated lighting, a renovated primary bathroom, a new carpet runner, a newer boiler, a newer roof, a newer garage door, custom closet organizers, and added barn door details. Additional highlights include a welcoming front porch, private deck and patio, in-unit laundry, efficient mechanical systems, and a detached 2-car garage. Just blocks from the Kenilworth Metra station, award-winning schools, parks, and the lakefront, this move-in-ready home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy all that Kenilworth has to offer in one of the North Shore's most desirable and tightly held communities.
