For Sale: Spacious Open-Floor Home with Private Theater & No HOA!
No HOA means no fees, no fines, and the freedom to truly own your home.
Over 2,050 sq. ft. of total custom living space! This 4-bedroom 'Unicorn' features a 1,516 sq. ft. main floor plus a 500+ sq. ft. professionally finished basement, three-season sunroom, and many built-in features. Just blocks from the Grade School in a popular area for trick-or-treating and city-wide garage sales!
Step into an expansive living room featuring soaring 14-foot cathedral ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace. The open floor plan flows seamlessly into a large, bright dining area and kitchen, ideal for entertaining.
The Master Suite is a true retreat with a privacy entrance, private bath, and large windows overlooking the backyard, pool, and tree line. Two additional bedrooms are conveniently located on either side of the front full bath.
Heading downstairs, you’ll find the home’s hidden gem: a custom Home Theater with a 12-foot screen, red curtains, a concession stand, and a functional ticket booth! The stand includes built-in outlets for your fridge and microwave. Just past the theater is a spacious fourth bedroom. The basement also offers a massive unfinished area perfect for storage, a workshop, or a future "man cave" with plenty of room for a pool table.
The large three-season sunroom off the kitchen features a vaulted ceiling and windows all around. Relax on the rear deck, tucked away for privacy—the perfect spot for morning coffee while watching local deer. From there, jump right into your Above-Ground Pool, which is easy to maintain and perfect for cooling off. The backyard is fenced for kids and pets, with plenty of room for a garden.
Ample parking is available via a large two-lane driveway and street parking. Step inside to a fully finished, insulated, and drywalled two-car garage. It features a massive organizer wall and a custom high-output LED lighting system. The dedicated workbench area includes built-in cabinets and specialized lighting, plus a rolling, locking second workbench on casters for ultimate mobility.
Situated in a peaceful neighborhood just blocks from town, you get the tranquility of a private lot with the convenience of being close to everything, and no HOA breathing down your neck!
Tech & Infrastructure Bonus: Includes a professional roof-mounted HD antenna with an active signal booster, hardwired into the home’s in-wall coaxial network (Living Room + main floor Bedrooms). Just plug in your smart TV and scan for channels. While reception varies with weather, this setup currently pulls in 40-50+ free channels, including major HD Chicago networks, perfect for local news, major national sports, and eliminating cable bills.

What the owner loves about this home
Perfect for a boat or RV owner, plenty of room on the oversized two-lane driveway and the freedom to use your property your way. Plenty of room to finish more rooms in the basement! Basement stayed dry for us!
Inside, the home is filled with high-end custom built-ins you won't find anywhere else, including integrated in-wall bathroom shelving and three elevated custom living room shelf displays. The showstopper is the basement Home Theater entertainment hub that features a built-in concession stand and candy display area for the ultimate movie night.
The basement isn't just finished; it’s protected. We installed a professional Triple Sump System with two separate pits and a battery backup (new battery installed April 2026) for maximum redundancy. It has stayed bone-dry for us, giving you total confidence to finish even more rooms or finally build out that massive workshop or mancave that you’ve always wanted.
According to the previous owner, the three-season sunroom was a $50k custom addition. It features soaring vaulted ceilings, a massive decorative wooden beam, and panoramic views of the backyard and pool. It’s the perfect, high-end space for quiet mornings or hosting friends while watching the local wildlife.
