***Multiple Offers Received. Highest & Best Deadline of Noon on Monday, 4/21.***. Dreamy is the first word that comes to mind when visiting this Deluxe Baltis Ranch at 1601 Kensington Avenue. From the gorgeous and lush landscaping that surrounds the home, to the calming decor and color palette, to the abundance of living space and mix of vintage charm and updates, it's hard to find another home in Westchester quite like this one. Beautiful hardwood floors grace the first floor and the L-shaped living and dining rooms offer plenty of space to relax and entertain. The eat-in kitchen features beautifully maintained original cabinetry that has been painted, brand new quartz counters, and newer stainless steel appliances. Three nice sized bedrooms all offer good closet space and are the perfect retreat at the end of a long day. The vintage appointed baths are so meticulous you'd think they were just designed and built yesterday. You'll be amazed at how much living space there is in the finished basement! Multiple rooms allow for so much flexibility in how you use them, plus there is a small bedroom with egress window, full bath, laundry/utility room, and huge storage/workroom. The fenced in backyard is a delight with perfectly manicured gardens (the gardens were featured on the 2021 Westchester Garden Walk), and multiple seating areas including a delightful hidden area behind the 2-car detached garage. Located across the street from the Westchester library and 2 blocks from Westchester Intermediate School. It's an easy drive to the expressways, Downtown La Grange, Western Springs, and Oak Brook. Recent updates include: furnace ('17), a/c ('19), roof ('15), water heater ('18), range and clothes dryer ('24), dishwasher ('20), exterior windows painted ('20), and exterior lighting updates ('24). If you're ready to enjoy a one of a kind home for your next home, then 1601 Kensington Avenue is for you. Welcome Home!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
