18 Waverly Ave.

This spacious split level home is in the heart of one of Clarendon Hills' most family friendly neighborhoods, only one block from the newly renovated train station and downtown. Stroll to Starbucks and the Farmer's Market, or take the kids to The Daily Scoop for ice cream. With twelve rooms over four levels, this four bedroom, three full bath home has a great layout. The first level of this home boasts an open floor plan between the large living and dining rooms, with a bay window overlooking an established perineal garden and porch swing. The open floor plan continues as you move into a welcoming family room with a fireplace and built in bookcases, flowing into the kitchen with plenty of cabinet space, and sunny breakfast area that overlooks a beautiful backyard. A wood deck, patio, pond, and wide expanse of grass are surrounded by mature trees and a six foot fence with locking gates, making the backyard feel like a private oasis perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Up one level is a well-sized master bedroom that features a walk-in closet and en suite bathroom with double sinks and a whirlpool tub and shower. There is also a built-in laundry chute that delivers dirty clothes right into the basket in the basement laundry room. Two other large bedrooms on this floor share a full bath. One room has a window seat overlooking the front yard, and the other has an extended closet for storage. You can open the windows on many nights and turn on the whole house fan and cool the house without any air conditioning. Entering the home from the 2 1/2 car garage is the office, with built-in desk, bookcases, file drawers and a closet. This level also has a full bathroom. A few steps down there is a finished basement with three additional rooms. The first room features an expanse of cabinets for storage, a refrigerator, and a sink. This versatile room could be a craft area, a tool room, or utilized as an additional kitchen space. The center room has four closets and a laundry room, which is hidden behind a pocket door. The third room makes a cozy and comfortable bedroom, highlighting a fireplace that gives the room plenty of nostalgia. Add to that award winning schools in district 181 that feed into Hinsdale Central, and this house has it all: excellent location, schools, and the "bones" to keep you happy today and for years into your future.
