216 S PROSPECT Avenue, Clarendon Hills, IL 60514

Just when you thought it couldn't get better, it does! Some homes simply understand how people want to live. 216 S. Prospect Avenue is one of them. Set in one of Clarendon Hills' most coveted walk-to-town locations, this handsome brick 5 bedroom/4.1 bathroom home blends timeless architecture with the warmth, comfort, and ease today's buyers rarely find all in one home. Elegant without feeling formal, refined without sacrificing livability - every space feels beautifully considered. A gracious 1st floor unfolds with beautifully scaled rooms designed equally for entertaining and everyday life. A sophisticated living room with fireplace, formal dining room, and an exceptional gourmet kitchen with huge island, breakfast area, planning desk and beverage center flow seamlessly into the inviting family room anchored by a second fireplace. Throughout the home, thoughtful details quietly elevate every space - 10' ceilings, birch hardwood flooring, custom old-world style picture rail millwork, built-in speakers on the 1st floor and lower level, refined lighting, and craftsmanship that speaks for itself. Nothing has been overlooked. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a true retreat with a serene bedroom, enormous walk-in closet and luxurious spa-inspired bath. Three additional generously sized bedrooms include an ensuite guest suite, while two others share a thoughtfully designed Jack and Jill bath. A second-floor laundry room adds convenience exactly where it belongs. The finished lower level is bright and open thanks to oversized window wells and above-grade windows that fill the space with abundant natural light. Designed for both entertaining and flexibility, it features a fully outfitted media room with entertainment center including beverage fridge and microwave, spacious rec room, 5th bedroom, and 4th full bath. Spend your summer whiling away the warm days and evenings on the lovely spacious paver brick patio or the fun firepit (with gas line so no extra work for anyone) and yard with lush mature plantings. And then there is the location - the kind buyers wait years for. Just moments from the heart of downtown Clarendon Hills, Metra train to Chicago, Walker Elementary School, parks, dining, and shopping, with convenient access to expressways and both airports. This is Clarendon Hills living at its finest - timeless, gracious, and exceptionally well located.
