Spectacular waterfront views dotted with wildlife highlight this engaging two-story townhome that combines easy living and a prime location with panoramic pond-side beauty, serenity and appeal. From the airy two-story foyer, access the spacious living/dining room combination, the kitchen/breakfast area, family room, updated powder room, laundry/mudroom and open half-turn stairway to the second floor. A truly flexible design makes the living/dining area with its crown molding accent, view of the pond and both foyer and kitchen access great for intimate or larger group gatherings. While the kitchen features a convenient preparation area with a breakfast bar, the adjoining breakfast area with its glorious patio/pond view opens to the adjacent family room with an inviting gas fireplace. Both areas feature easy-care wood laminate flooring. The high ceiling foyer with ceramic flooring also leads to the stunning newer powder room and laundry/mudroom opening to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs you'll find a loft-like hallway that overlooks the foyer below and leads to the primary bedroom suite with its restful pond views. A true retreat, it includes a sitting area, large customized walk-in closet and compartmented bath with wet room featuring the commode and a separate tub and shower. Two additional family bedrooms, one with an included Murphy bed, share a large Jack 'n Jill bath that is so convenient. On the lower level, the full basement with its huge multi-purpose recreation room, ideal for all ages, adds great living space, a huge amount of built-in storage and a cedar-lined walk-in closet. Additional interior extras include abundant recessed lighting, remote-controlled ceiling fans, custom closet organizers in bedrooms/entry area and Corian window sills throughout. Combine the space and comforts of a freestanding home with the convenience of a well-maintained Homeowner Association for the best of both worlds -- all within easy access to highway, restaurants, shopping and Metra station. Love the space, love the view and love the relaxing lifestyle here!
