This comfortable and well-maintained home features an attached two car garage, a spacious layout, and an exceptional location close to schools, parks, trails, and community attractions. The inviting main level begins with a bright and open living room highlighted by a large picture window that brings in natural light and offers views of the cozy neighborhood. The living room flows effortlessly into the generous eat in kitchen, which features abundant cabinetry, Corian countertops, an undermount sink, black stainless steel 'no fingerprint" appliances, and sliding glass doors that lead directly to the expansive backyard.

An oversized concrete driveway provides ample parking, and best of all-there are no HOA fees. The location is truly hard to beat.

Residents can enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks at Graf Park near the DuPage County Fairgrounds, explore multiple beautiful parks and nature areas including Lincoln Marsh, Northside Park, and Herrick Park, and take advantage of the Prairie Path bike trail running right through the neighborhood. Downtown Wheaton, the exceptional park district, two amazing community pools, and several fitness options-including Wheaton Sport Center less than five minutes away-are all nearby. Cantigny Park is only minutes away as well. Commuters will appreciate the close proximity to multiple Metra stations as well as quick and easy access to major interstates, making travel throughout the western suburbs and into Chicago very convenient.
