About This Home

Step into elegance at 1251 North Chicago Avenue in the sought-after Virginia Terrace neighborhood of Arlington Heights. This 3,619-square-foot single-family residence sits on an 8,712-square-foot lot and offers a perfect balance of sophistication and comfort. The grand foyer opens to soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and refinished hardwood floors. A formal dining room with a distinctive wood inlay pattern, arches leading from the two-story living room to the kitchen, and recessed lighting throughout add to the home's refined character. The remodeled 2024 chef's kitchen features double ovens, a Wolf range, range hood, two dishwashers (2017 & 2023), an LG refrigerator (2024), granite countertops, a spacious island, additional breakfast area, and stylish built-ins. The two-story living room centers around a striking fireplace, while the laundry room off the garage-remodeled in 2024-functions as the perfect mudroom. The home offers five bedrooms, including four upstairs and one on the first floor next to a full bath, making it ideal for guests or in-laws. Upstairs, one bedroom enjoys a private ensuite bath, while the others share access to an additional full bath. The primary suite is a retreat with dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom featuring a jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and dual vanities. A trayed ceiling adds elegance to the bedroom itself. Painted white railings with wrought iron posts (2022) accent the staircase and second-floor landing, creating an open, modern feel, while the walkway above overlooks both the foyer and two-story living room with expansive windows flooding the home with natural light. The fully finished basement expands the living space with a large recreation area, an additional office space, a storage/workshop area, and a kitchen space complete with a beverage fridge. Additional features throughout the home include two furnaces (2004 & 2017), two AC units (2004 & 2017), a whole-home generator, radon mitigation system (2021), built-in bookshelves at the top of the stairs, a whole-house intercom, and storage above the garage. Outdoor living is enhanced by a gas firepit, natural gas hookup for grilling, and professional landscaping completed in the back (2023) and front (2025). Other updates include a 2024 half-bath remodel. The home also includes a home warranty valid through 2027, covering electrical, plumbing, appliances, and more for added peace of mind. With its thoughtful floor plan, timeless details, and modern upgrades, this home is as functional as it is beautiful. Located near top-rated schools, shops, and restaurants, 1251 North Chicago Avenue is a true Arlington Heights gem ready to welcome its next owners.
