8315 Laporte Ave.

One of a kind triple lot single-family home custom built in 2016. The location combines a suburban existence with the convenience to commute to greater Chicagoland or the city itself. Nearby Harr Park has basketball courts, a dog run, and a bocce ball court. The brick home has a fenced backyard oasis with impressive features. It is a bird lovers paradise: species around the property include woodpeckers, orioles, cardinals, and, most importantly, unique green monk parrots exclusive to the area. The owners added premium landscaping in 2020, 2021, and 2022, featuring a cedar planting box, perennial garden beds, and a butterfly garden specific to pollinators (butterflies and bumble bees), with vines and flowers specific to hummingbirds. Included is a dog run with turf that leads into a mud room (sprinklers are featured in dog run for daily cleaning). Owners can enjoy a heated above-ground pool with lights, security rails, lockable stairs, and a new liner from 2021. New carpet was added to the deck last year. A large, lighted Artesian hot tub has been impeccably kept up, with a new top added in 2021. A propane hookup added on the patio allows for convenient grilling, and the yard also includes a fire pit. A smart underground sprinkler system was added in 2021. There is also a large, maintained shed wired for electricity. A smart front door lock was added in 2022, and there is a Lorex security system on the exterior. The interior of the home is just as impressively appointed. The owners upgraded to a smart Whirlpool gas washer and dryer in 2021, and the sump pump was replaced in 2022. Nest thermostats and smart smoke detectors were added in 2020. The gorgeous kitchen has a 100% cedar island (from 2022), and the dishwasher and microwave were both replaced in 2018. There is hardwood flooring found throughout, and all window treatments will remain with the house. Unfinished full basement with rough plumbing installed, perfect for an in-law suite or an entertainment room, and an attached 3-car garage with a smart garage-door opener is set up with a track system for customizable storage.
