Welcome to a hidden gem in a pocket of West Chicago you didn't know existed! Located on peaceful Elm Road-a quiet dead-end street just off Route 64-this charming Cape Cod sits on 1.4 acres of private paradise, while still feeling close to everything. OH and it's in the desirable St. Charles school district! Step inside and be pleasantly surprised by the space and layout. The front door opens into a warm, open-concept dining and family room, perfect for entertaining. A rustic sliding barn door separates the kitchen, adding character and charm. On the main floor, you'll find a bedroom and a full bath-ideal for guests, a home office, or single-level living. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms, including one with a unique overlook. Storage won't be an issue, thanks to the walk-in attic space-no ladder needed for holiday bins! Out back, a large wooden deck overlooks your expansive backyard-ideal for BBQs, bonfires, and relaxing nights under the stars. The 1,000 SF pole barn with 220 electric is a dream for hobbyists, car lovers, or anyone needing space for a workshop, toys, or even a man cave/she shed. Love animals? With the space and location of this home, you can finally bring home those baby chicks-or even a horse! Since 2016, nearly everything has been updated: subflooring, electrical, roof (tear-off), well lines, and more-all fully inspected and passed. This isn't Nightmare on Elm Street... this is Bliss on Elm Road.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
