Your Private Retreat on Prairie Avenue - Superman has his Fortress of Solitude, and now you can have yours! This charming brick cottage is more than a home-it's your peaceful getaway. Nestled on a spacious, almost acre lot on a tucked-away, secret street, this gem feels like a hidden treasure while being close to all the conveniences you need. Step inside to find a home that's been beautifully updated in 2023 with a fresh new kitchen and modern bath with heated floors and a roll-in shower, and stylish flooring thru-out the first floor. The cozy vibes continue with a screened porch perfect for lazy mornings or evening chats, and an upstairs attic offering endless storage options. But wait, there's more-a cool crow's nest staircase leads to an upper loft that's ready to become your dream space. Whether it's a bedroom, craft studio, or art haven, the possibilities are endless! Need space for hobbies or work? You'll love the massive 3+ car heated garage with a second-story - ideal for remote work or just keeping life organized. The grounds extend deep into towering trees and natural prairie grasses surrounding a shed and storage building. Forest critters can be spotted from your screened in porch for added serenity. School Districts 41 and 87 Glenbard West serve this special location. This Prairie Avenue retreat is waiting for someone to make it their own. Will it be you?
