Property Description
Tucked along a gently running creek on the Brookfield-Lyons border, this storybook brick home feels like it was lifted from the pages of a classic fairy tale. With its European-inspired exterior, distinctive slate roofline, and timeless character, the setting is peaceful, private, and filled with everyday magic - where wildlife visits regularly and nature provides a beautiful backdrop in every season. Inside, you'll find warmth and charm at every turn, with wood floors throughout, tall ceilings, and beautifully scaled living spaces. The main level offers a spacious living room, formal dining room, family room, and an updated kitchen featuring stylish green painted cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and a full suite of appliances added in 2017. Sunlight fills the rooms and highlights the home's inviting personality and thoughtful updates. The home offers three total bedrooms, including two generously-sized 2nd floor bedrooms with large closets and abundant storage. In the basement, there is a flexible area that can be used for bedroom, fitness, or other. Mechanical systems have been thoughtfully maintained, with major boiler components that have been recently updated and replaced, along with updated windows (2012) throughout. The fenced backyard is truly the crown jewel - opening to beautiful creek views with very few neighboring sightlines, creating a rare sense of privacy and serenity. Enjoy the sights and sounds of local wildlife, from birds and deer to the natural beauty that defines this special corridor between Brookfield and Lyons. On quiet days, you may even hear the distant calls from nearby Brookfield Zoo - a unique and delightful neighborhood signature. Perfectly positioned near downtown Brookfield amenities, restaurants, and the Metra station with convenient express options, this home blends accessibility with enchanting natural surroundings. A rare opportunity to own a truly charming creekside retreat with character, comfort, and a setting that feels straight out of a classic tale.
