Life circumstances changed for the current owners shortly after their purchase, creating an exceptional opportunity for the next buyer to own a beautifully maintained home in the highly desirable Greenbrier neighborhood. Offering over 1,400 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath split-level combines timeless character, functional updates, and flexible living options - including the potential for a 4th bedroom or dedicated home office. Hardwood floors extend throughout most of the main living areas and all bedrooms, while the expansive family room addition and lower level offer warm, comfortable carpeted spaces perfect for everyday living and entertaining. The inviting layout features an eat-in kitchen, spacious dining area, and a bright living room that seamlessly flows into the oversized family room complete with a gas fireplace that can also be converted back to wood-burning. The lower level provides additional versatility for a second recreation space, office, workout room, or future guest suite, along with a half bath that offers potential for expansion. Storage throughout the home is exceptional, with generous closet space and a large cemented crawl space providing plenty of room for organization. Outside, the beautifully landscaped and fully fenced backyard creates a private retreat with a brick paver patio ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying summer evenings. Major mechanical updates and improvements provide added peace of mind, including the furnace (2010), AC unit (2022), water heater (2016), and a space heater added in 2021. The home also features a brand new garbage disposal, updated 200-amp electrical panel, copper plumbing, rebuilt chimney with stainless steel liner, sump pump with battery backup, and a well-maintained architectural shingle roof with approximately 15 years of age remaining on a 30-year shingle. Complete with a 1.5-car garage, oversized driveway, and an unbeatable location near top-rated schools, parks, shopping, dining, downtown Arlington Heights, the Metra, and convenient access to Route 53, this is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home in one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods.
