About 1396 Wauchope Dr

WELCOME HOME! This stunning ranch home sits on a spacious corner lot with a new roof and offers incredible features both inside and out. The main level is truly remarkable, and the fully finished lower level adds two additional bedrooms, a full bath, an amazing family room, and plenty of storage. Upon entering the home, you're greeted by a large front porch complete with a maintenance-free Trex deck, stacked stone pillars, and a freshly painted exterior. The porch alone is perfect for alfresco dining at any time of the day. Step inside to enjoy the generous, open-concept ranch floor plan. The formal living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating an ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining. The adjacent eat-in area is versatile, perfect for formal dining or even as an office (as shown). The gorgeous kitchen is a cook's dream, featuring brilliant granite countertops, beautiful cherry cabinetry, and newer appliances. Keep the kids entertained and your grocery list up to date with the fun chalkboard wall-a playful touch! The family/hearth room, complete with a stunning fireplace, leads to the back patio. This space offers endless possibilities for your family's needs. Step outside to a generous deck, complete with a lovely covered pergola (installed in 2024) that is waterproof and protects you from the elements while dining or hosting a BBQ. The primary bedroom is spacious and includes a refreshed ensuite bathroom. Relax in the large whirlpool tub or enjoy the separate shower. The stonework and vanity create a true oasis. Also on the main floor is an oversized second bedroom, a beautifully renovated full bathroom with a stunning tile wall and vanity, and an additional renovated half bathroom. The main floor is completed by a convenient laundry room. No more forgetting the laundry. The newer washer and dryer with Bluetooth capabilities will send alerts right to your phone! Plus a utility sink for all of your washing needs. Head to the fully finished lower level, which features two more bedrooms, a full bathroom, a bonus room, and an additional utility room. The bonus room can be used as a rec room, family room, workout space, or whatever fits your needs! Throughout the home, you'll find thoughtful details and charm, like a custom wine rack, perfect for entertaining! Many rooms have been freshly painted, and all the carpeting has been replaced, giving the home a refreshed feel. The attached 2 1/2 car garage offers convenient access in all seasons. For those with hobbies or small businesses, the detached second garage is a dream come true! It has its own driveway, air conditioning, an attic, insulated drywall, electrical heat, and water. This space is ideal for woodworking or storage, and you could park over FIVE cars between the two garages! The oversized yard, enclosed by a picket fence (installed in 2020), is perfect for outdoor activities. It features a firepit, mature trees, and landscape lighting. Both the front porch and back deck offer ample space for outdoor dining. The circular driveway adds charm and convenience, and even the flagpole with its lighted display adds a special touch. This location can't be beat! This home is conveniently located near interstate access, Tyler Forest Preserve, and miles of trails on the Fox River to bike, jog, or walk! Also near to Judson University, and the Fox River. Recent updates include a new AC unit (2023), a new roof (2024), and exterior paint (2022).
