Arrowhead Wheaton! Country Colonial beauty. Premium location on a quiet cul-de-sac. Super cute and oh - SO much larger than it looks...well over 4200 sq ft of living space and room sizes that everyone longs for. Excellent curb appeal with a lush green front yard space - lilac bushes and majestic tall pines included. Swing into in the cute circular drive and notice the basketball hoop and large playing area for pickup games. Saunter up the paver brick path to this front porch entry which allows for a couple of chairs for greeting neighbors. Welcoming entry gives you a choice of three paths into this wonderful home - left to some living space, stairs up to second floor or right into the kitchen. Choose left and you will find a living room area that spans the entire width of the home. No need for this to be underutilized as a formal area as it can serve as a second family room, play room, pool table space with conversation area? Host holidays in the lovely dining room which features wainscoting and crown molding and easily fits extended table and accompanying pieces. Stroll into the heart of the home, the center of this residence, the hub of all activity - the kitchen! Absolutely everyone can congregate in this area and would not get in the cooks' way. Two islands (one with hi-top seating), plenty of counter space, cabinets up-down and all-around for pots/pans, small appliances, kitchen goods and canned/boxed/dry food. An eat-in area can fit an oversized dinner table and alongside it use the countertop as a serving buffet or bar area. Next stop - the cozy family room gives off vibe of warmth & comfort, but not small. Fireplace with crisp mantle, recessed lighting and wide sliding doors that lead to the highlight of this beautiful residence, which is the four-season room. Spend mornings lounging around enjoying a cup coffee and evenings relaxing with a glass of wine. Tucked away off the family room is a hidden section of the home that packs a lot of important rooms! Here, the current owner uses the 5th bedroom as an office, but truly could be a sleeping option for guests or permanents as it perfectly situated next door to a full bath. An extra-large mudroom with a wall full cabinets/locker/storage that also houses the laundry is also part of this special space. Of course, the mudroom leads right into the garage where surprise...a 2.5 car garage with two true car bays, but also SO much additional space behind its doors. There's even enough room to store a boat, motor toys or create a designated workspace. The second level offers a haven for four bedrooms. The primary with en suite, dressing area, his/her closets and more. A layout that works, but also is prime for redesign. Three additional bedrooms featuring large closets (one with built-in desk) and a remodeled shared bath. A whole house fan allows the owner to use less energy when opting not to turn on AC. Travel all the way to the lower level and find a finished basement (that has been refreshed with brand new flooring and painted), and has a tucked away kitchenette area. Out back, an enormous deck (power washed and ready for the season) that can accommodate conversation set, barbecue and more. Mature landscaping and wooded area view is both scenic and provides privacy. Invisible fence with collar to keep pet safe and on property. Extra storage in garage attic. Just installed - two brand new Air conditioners (2024). Cree is conveniently located on the South side of Wheaton just across the road from the popular Arrowhead Golf Club/Bar/Restaurant. Close to shopping, grocery and restaurants. Enjoy downtown Naperville and downtown Wheaton - as both are a quick drive. Metra train transportation options, and super easy access to both I-88, I-355.
