801 Hitchcock Ave.

Gorgeous, solidly built, north facing, ALL BRICK home sits prominently on a corner lot (close to 1/2 of an acre) within walking distance to downtown LISLE and a 5 minute drive to the Morton Arboretum. The eight-foot front door welcomes you into the two-story foyer, remarkable inlay wood floors (perfectly maintained), running continuously throughout the entire home. TRADITIONAL layout with a formal dining room and living room in the front of the home, the OPEN kitchen and family room overlook the easy to maintain backyard and low walled patio space. The EXPANSIVE outdoor living area includes a STATEMENT woodburning fireplace for year-round use. Surprise! ALSO located on this main level is an EXTRA bedroom/office within close proximity to a full bath! Excellent opportunity for multigenerational living OR anyone wanting to live life to the fullest on one level. No shortage of countertop in the kitchen; a peninsula, island and coffee/breakfast bar, provide plenty of space for food prep, cooking and baking. Braise, simmer, whip, scramble, roast, deglaze, knead and chop away! Racheal Ray and Guy Fieri would be impressed! The cherry maple cabinets and top of the line appliances (Jenn-Air) are striking. Walk-in pantry with custom glass door and cabinets provide ample storage, as does an extra closet in the kitchen for cleaning materials or surplus/bulk items. Utmost functionality provided in the 1st floor laundry/mud room right off the garage (current owners have two refrigerators in this space). Built in cubbies, cabinets make organizing so easy! The dining area in the kitchen is substantial and flows right into the main living space with a floor to ceiling fireplace over-mantel, stone hearth and abundance of natural light pouring in from the east. Upstairs opens up to a lovely landing/catwalk, a view overlooking the front foyer and family room. The upper level of the turret is being used as an office. The primary bedroom has 3 closets, an ensuite with dual vanity (granite), soaking tub, artistically tiled shower. All 5 bedrooms are spacious. Second floor laundry room so accessible. But wait, there is more! Above the 3 car garage an additional multipurpose space that can be utilized according to the new owners needs. The 400 square foot space has huge dormers, natural lighting and could become a home-schooling area, entertaining area for all ages...ping-pong, pool, board games, puzzles, or a bunk room for guests during the holidays/extended vacation time. The unfinished English DEEP POUR basement adds close to an additional 2000 square feet onto this luxury property. The builder chose to plan ahead and installed a beautiful stone fireplace that mimics the one on the first floor and rough-in plumbing for bringing this untapped potential to life. TWO top of the line Rheem furnaces have been regularly maintained, TWO Rheem 50-gallon hot water heaters purchased in 2022, sump pump replaced in 2020. Structural integrity of this home is first-in-class.
