213 LAWNDALE CT Germantown Hills, IL 61548

A secret backyard oasis sets this stunning rambler in award-winning Germantown Hills school district apart from the rest in a heartbeat. Packed with charm from top to bottom, built-in stone planter boxes & a partial stone exterior greet you as you walk up. Cross the threshold and instantly see gleaming hardwood floors that run from the front door, through the living room & den w/stone fireplace, all the way back to the family room w/a wood burning stove and an entire wall of windows. Tastefully updated over the years, this owner has made many stylistically beautiful upgrades, making sure to always pay homage to the home's 50's roots. A kitchen remodel (2023) included custom butcher-block counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel apron sink, 5' breakfast bar. Find yourself in your own *Secret Garden* out back; a 24 x 23 brick paver patio sets the stage, mature grapevines & blooming trumpet vines embrace 2 arbors creating stunning shaded hideaways, perennial black raspberry bushes invite you to pick fruit and a large full-sun backyard beckons to you to plant your annual vegetable garden. Efficiency, quality & planning is evident in the new chimney cap (2024), water heater (2022), furnace (2015), roof (2013), main floor bath remodel (2012), most windows (2008) and a dewatering system & whole house fan. A partially finished basement awaits your blueprints with a functioning full bath already in place, along with a rec room area, oversized & cheery laundry room & LOTS of storage.
