680 N Grace St.

Welcome to your storybook sanctuary-a darling 3-br, 2-bath Cape Cod cottage that's been lovingly expanded, stylishly updated, and positively beaming with good vibes. No heavy lifting here-the big stuff is done! We're talking new plumbing and chimney, updated electric, Wi-Fi ready, newer furnace and A/C, a 10-year-young roof, brand-new water heater, and modern appliances (just 5 years old). Inside is swoon-worthy: hand-scraped hardwood floors, arched doorways and crystal doorknobs that whisper "vintage romance." A new bay window floods the living room with sunshine and frames a picture-perfect view of the beloved Lombard Lagoon. A cozy cottage-style eat-in kitchen, main-level bedroom and full bath make for a dreamy guest suite or comfy primary. Don't miss the first-floor laundry and utility room. The family room is the ultimate cuddle-up zone with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace (wood-burning with gas starter!) and sliders that open up to your backyard wonderland. Upstairs, retreat to your primary hideaway, complete with a warm beadboard ceiling and a spa-like bath featuring a soaker tub worthy of bubble bath royalty. A third bedroom (currently starring as an office with amazing closet space) completes the upstairs. Stay effortlessly organized with California Closets, and both ADA-compliant bathrooms gorgeously updated by Normandy Builders. Outside - pure Nature "magic": a registered Monarch Waystation since 2007, this oasis has fluttered its way onto the Lombard Garden Walk year after year. Fully fenced backyard is an outdoor-lover's dream: paver patio, built-in firepit, 8-zone sprinkler system (can expand to 12 zone) with smart controller, large 'Tuff' Shed with electricity and lights, and even a cement pad ready for your future hot tub or backyard spa goals. Established native prairie areas provide four-season serenity and endless bragging rights. Oh-and the 2-car garage? Extra deep with work bench and storage.
