This exceptional home at the gateway of Ruby and Walker is just steps away from Hosek Park and a short stroll to Walker Elementary. The expanded, original Clarendon Hills residence welcomes you with a charming, meandering front walkway that sets the tone for the home's delightful character. The owners made impressive upgrades, including hiring The Walker Group to relocate the kitchen into a spacious, vaulted room that overlooks the inviting backyard. With its whitewashed rough-sawn cedar and exposed beams, this space looks like something straight out of a designer magazine. It seamlessly connects to the family room, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. The primary bedroom features an expanded, loft-like design with large trapezoid windows that flood the room with natural light by day and offer starlit views by night. A first-floor office keeps your commute to a minimum, while an additional room in the backyard offers endless possibilities. This separate building has served as a man cave, she shed, office, and movie theater-now it's ready for your vision. Once featured on HGTV, it boasts French doors, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and sun-filled windows. Many newer features, including the roof, furnace, and tankless water heater, add to the home's appeal. The private fenced yard stretches over 200 feet and includes mature trees, including a 100+ year-old elm. A gas fire pit provides a perfect spot for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. This home stands out for its unique character and modern amenities, offering the best of both worlds.
