SPACIOUS RANCH WITH BASEMENT IN QUIET WHEATON OAKS SUBDIVISION! This end unit 2 bedroom has an association-maintained yard and berm, viewing Cosley Zoo's meadow beyond. Welcomed inside by a large den to the left, with a delightful view and brightened by a skylight. The efficiency designed kitchen features quartz countertops, smooth wood cabinets, pantry and broom closet, and over the sink window. The dining room can expand to serve many because of the openness to the living room beyond. The living area with its automatic gas start fireplace invites personal peacefulness or cheerful times with friends. Through the French doors comes morning sunlight and leads to the enlarged paver surfaced patio beyond, protected from north winds by carefully chosen shrubs. The fully carpeted master bedroom features a ceiling fan, large walk-in closet, linen storage space and easy step-in shower in the master bath en-suite. Laundry room conveniently located on the first floor has shelving and utility sink. The guest bathroom has a shower/tub combo, floor to ceiling storage, grab bars and a "moon tunnel" for daylight. Stepping into the finished basement, you are greeted with a large rec room area with vinyl flooring, cupboards, and 1/2 bath. The utility room contains the recently upgraded furnace & A/C, high end sump pump, washer & dryer, hobby counter and cabinetry for storage. Steps from Cosley Zoo, and minutes from downtown Wheaton for dining and shopping.
