***MAY/JUNE Delivery! Still time to pick your interior cabinets, floors, and counters on arguably the best homesite in the community!*** Welcome to the Essex! This home has it all: an open-concept kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room; a den and a flex room; four bedrooms and a loft; two-and-a-half bathrooms; upper-floor laundry; and a three-car garage. Come explore! As you enter the front door, a flex room sits to the side of the home. This space can be used to fit whatever your lifestyle calls for! Continue forward and you'll find the nicely tucked away staircase and an adjacent coat closet for guests. From here, the home opens up beautifully to the open-concept main living spaces, which includes the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. The kitchen is lined with lots of cabinetry and has a large center island. Tucked into the corner of the kitchen is the entry to the private mud room entrance, which provides lots of space for taking off boots and coats during the cold Chicago winters. A walk-in closet finishes the mud room, so there's no shortage of space in this room. Back out through the kitchen, another entryway can be found near the rear of the home in the breakfast area, this time leading to a den, powder bath, and a landing with backyard access. Upstairs, the Essex holds four bedrooms and a loft. The owner's suite sits in the rear corner of the home and has a private en-suite bathroom and walk in closet. The three secondary bedrooms share no walls, creating lots of privacy within the home. Finishing off this floor is the hallway bathroom, the laundry room, and a hallway linen closet. Rounding out this home is a full basement with a rough-in for a future bathroom. The Essex is waiting for you to call it home. Welcome to Better. Welcome to the Essex!
