This beautifully designed home combines the ease of first-floor living with timeless craftsmanship and modern luxury-just steps from the charm of downtown St. Charles. Nestled back from 7th Street, the property offers a peaceful, private setting, yet keeps you close to shops, dining, and the riverfront. Enjoy morning coffee on the brick patio overlooking professionally landscaped gardens, or relax on the spacious covered front porch with a rich wood ceiling. Inside, the open floor plan is filled with architectural details that set this home apart-coffered ceilings, transom windows, detailed millwork, pocket doors, and elegant crown molding. The heart of the home features a soaring 12-foot stone fireplace with gas logs, expansive windows that flood the space with natural light, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The oversized eat-in kitchen is an entertainer's dream, boasting high-end KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a true walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry/coffee bar. With 9- and 12-foot ceilings, this open layout is designed for both comfortable living and effortless entertaining. The deep-pour 9-foot basement offers endless possibilities-already roughed for plumbing, equipped with egress windows, a radon mitigation system, a tankless water heater, a sump pump with battery backup, and a dedicated basement air system. Built in 2008 with thoughtful updates, this home is the perfect blend of convenience, luxury, and location-ideal for those who want to simplify life without sacrificing style.
