First time on the market-this solid brick Tudor-style home was custom-built and thoughtfully designed in 1979 by its original owner, a civil engineer and international businessman. Intentionally positioned for both durability and convenience, the home sits on an oversized corner lot, slightly elevated within the neighborhood to offer added privacy and pleasant second-floor views. Quality is evident throughout, featuring double-paned, sound-reducing windows and doors for year-round comfort. With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the layout was designed to comfortably accommodate a large family. The main level includes a welcoming foyer, a spacious family room, and a private office, alongside a functional kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and a travertine tile backsplash. The bright living and dining area features a cozy fireplace and sliding doors to the backyard patio, while a dedicated laundry room and mudroom add essential everyday practicality. The upper level is highlighted by an expansive primary suite with a private bath and walk-in closet, joined by three additional generously sized bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a large linen closet for exceptional storage. The living space extends into the finished basement, which offers a fifth bedroom with dual closets, a full bath with heated floors, a large entertainment and game room, an exercise room, and a separate utility area. Practical features continue with an extra-deep attached 2-car garage equipped with workbenches and a huge asphalt driveway with ample parking. The location offers wonderful walkability, situated just two blocks from the Wood Dale Public Library and featuring convenient access to the neighborhood pool directly behind the property. Enjoy unbeatable convenience just minutes from the Wood Dale Metra station, roughly 15 minutes to O'Hare International Airport, and easy access to Route 83 and I-290 for a smooth commute to downtown Chicago.
