343 Western Avenue

Awaiting you in an idyllic walk-to-town-and-train location is this custom home with an open floorplan, a finished lower level rec room, and a fabulous backyard made for entertaining. Captivating from the street, the stone-and-shingle exterior and front porch welcome you inside. Nearly 4,900 square feet of living space offers a showcase of transitional style, fine detail and craftsmanship. Easy main level living includes a graceful entry foyer, formal living and dining room, home office, full bath and a large kitchen opening to a breakfast nook and family room overlooking the verdant backyard and stone patio. A fireplace warms the family room as a wall of French doors open to the patio and flood the room with natural light. The remodeled kitchen is ever-timeless, adorned with white cabinetry, Carrera marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. A convenient second floor laundry room and four bedrooms reside upstairs, including the luxurious primary suite with its generous walk-in closet and spacious bath with dual sinks, separate shower and soaking tub. A large bonus room with adjoining bath occupies the attic space, giving the next homeowner plenty of flexibility to use it as a playroom, guest or au pair suite or a second home office. The lower level is an entertainer's haven with a spacious rec room/second living room adjacent to a full wet bar, flex room, bath, and storage space. Beyond, the backyard beckons with a magical outdoor setting complete with an entertaining patio, mature landscaping and lush lawn. The homeowners have thoughtfully updated this home through the years, adding a new brick paver patio, new exterior paint, a finished basement, new sod in the backyard and new front yard landscaping among many other improvements. There currently is no garage but a 2 car garage can be built very easily on the lot. Acclaimed Walker Elementary is within walking distance, and proximity to Clarendon Hills Middle School and Hinsdale Central High School make this neighborhood one of the area's most sought-after. Everything you could want in a home.
