9475 E Prairie Meadow Drive

GOOD GRACIOUS! GREENWAY, GARDENS, and GREAT ENERGY SAVINGS TOO! This home fronts the Prairie Meadow Greenway with its expansive western views where it’s easy to access trails, commute to the highly ranked Northfield HS, or even hop over to the playground at Wicker Park or Pozzetti’s Gelato and Coffee for a break in the middle of the day. But wait until you see the JUST UPDATED FRONT AND BACK LANDSCAPING and the brilliant use of the grassy XL ‘corner-like’ lot that offers a wide setback from neighbors. The Sellers extended the fence line to make room for aspen, plum, peach, cherry trees, a prolific blackberry bush, and garden beds for sun-kissed homegrown tomatoes and fresh herbs. Inside, there’s BRAND NEW CARPET AND FRESH PAINT, and getting work out of the way is easy in a fully dedicated office with a big front-facing window and pocket doors for privacy. A clever floor plan connects formal dining with a great room through a shared central fireplace. An extra casual breakfast space caps the end of an upgraded kitchen with a large prep island, on-trend open shelving with subway tile peeking out from behind, a pretty range hood, a coffee/tea station, and a must-have dedicated pantry. Its extra deep, boxed tall windows bring in that airy and light vibe, and the driftwood shade of the luxury floors almost makes it feel like a day at the beach! EVERYTHING on the practicality checklist is here, too. There’s a drop zone and tech station off the roomy attached garage, a laundry room you can close the door on with tons of storage, and a sunny loft for work OR play! And then, let’s talk ZEN. Not just the peace that comes with the sweeping finished basement space or the 10 minutes to light rail, but those builder extras from Thrive’s Zero Energy Ready homes that leverage solar panels, a tankless water heater, attic fan, extra thick framing and insulation, and an EV outlet in the garage to keep those energy savings in your pocket. INDEED…WHAT A VALUE THIS ONE IS!
