561 Salceda Ln.

The largest model (approx 3300 sq ft) offered in Fields of Ambria was expanded by an additional 3 ft along the entire back of the home and is situated on one of the largest cul-de-sac lots (1/3 acre) in this very desirable neighborhood. The original owner gave this expanded Granada a head-to-toe update/upgrade to become one of "Chicago's Finest Painted Ladies" an award it received in 2008 by the Chicago Paint & Coatings Association. This honor is usually awarded to one of the beautiful old Victorian homes in the Chicagoland area. This is a very special home! The outside details are one-of-a-kind. In addition to its exterior beauty the siding is low maintenance composite board and the windows were all replaced in the same year. Roof and HVAC are newer; seller is still going through paperwork to find exact age. All the remolding was done with the best at the best of the time (about 15 years ago). Lots of Tuscan style natural stone in the kitchen and bathrooms, hardwood floors, high-end appliances, lots of recessed lighting, crown molding, full finished basement with mini-kitchen or wet-bar (1700 sq ft), dual raised patios with high-end pavers and professional landscaping with underground irrigation system. Although the paint colors, lighting and carpet choices are not current it wouldn't take much to transform it by adding some of today's colors/finishes to what is already there. It's a solid, well taken care of home in an amazing neighborhood. Main floor consists of living room, formal dining room, family room with fireplace, office, very large kitchen with over-sized eating area, powder room & mud/laundry room with exit to patio. Second floor has 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths. 3-car Garage. The seller is doing a major downsizing. Needs time to purge, declutter and pack. Seller is willing to show to qualified buyers during this Private Listing period starting 4/8/24. Showings must be accompanied by LA. Seller's goal is to be moved out by 5/15/24 or sooner. Some non-professional pictures are available upon request. PLEASE NOTE: Seller's late husband needed an elevator to access the second story and a ramp from garage to enter the 1st story. Both are still there and could be included if the new owner needs them, but a contractor is scheduled to remove both and repair the floor/railing in foyer once owner moves.
