121 N 3rd Ave.

Welcome Home! This home built in 1955 has so much to offer. Your first impression includes the new siding and roof with its ridge vent. This home includes three treasures. The first is that the house is bigger then it looks! It is well laid out for your comfort and enjoyment. The full bathroom and two big bedrooms with hardwood floors, lots of window light and ample closet space are upstairs. recently redid the bathroom so it includes a new tub/shower and surround, sink and vanity. You might notice the unique flooring with rectangular earth tone stone tiles from Turkey. The big living room is highlighted by the picture window and lovely hardwood floor and an entry way closet that is larger than most. The kitchen is roomy enough for a table and has lots of cabinets and a handy pantry for food storage as well as a new oven range installed in 2020. On the lower level you find a family room that could serve as a den, office for those who work from home or even another bedroom. The utility room includes the washer/dryer and the newly converted circuit breaker. The second treasure lies beyond the wooden entry off the family room inside the very accessible crawl space which is tall enough to allow crouching. This area will provide lots of storage space with great wooden shelves built that line the walls. The third treasure awaits you in the deep pine fenced backyard (built in 2021) that is more like your own private park and peaceful nature sanctuary. Also a new 18 x 18 concrete patio just completed. A handy 8 by 10 tool shed is in the back corner of the property. The massive silver maple is awesome and inviting to bird life and squirrels. Home has a crab apple tree, evergreens, a raspberry patch, lilacs and other bushes and planted many bulbs including crocus, tulip, hyacinth and gladiolas as well as other perennial plants like bee balm and lady slippers that bloom anew each year. This beautiful backyard will delight you as the earth comes to life in the spring with colorful blooms continuing into summer and fall. In return for food the wide variety of birds will enliven your days with their color, activity, joyous chatter and distinctive songs. The metal birdhouse next to the garage averages three sparrow families each year. If you seek a great starter or retirement home that is conveniently located to stores, schools and Metra and enjoy gardening and nature, I hope 121 N. 3rd Avenue in the pleasant and nationally ranked village of Villa Park will be your dream come true.
