Property Description

In a market saturated with compact one-bedroom layouts, this is something altogether different. Welcome to one of only eight residences of its kind in the entire Kimball Square community - a rarely available Ames model offering over 1,200 square feet of refined, open living. With just two of these expansive one-bedroom homes per building - and only four buildings total - opportunities here are uncommon and fleeting. Positioned on the elevated first residential level (above the secured entry and garage), this home offers both convenience and privacy. Select buildings within the development enjoy more secluded rear surroundings - a subtle but meaningful distinction for those who value tranquility. Inside, the residence unfolds with an effortless sense of scale and serenity. Nine-foot ceilings and an expansive open plan create a light-filled atmosphere rarely found in one-bedroom homes. A gracious living and dining area flows seamlessly into the modern kitchen, complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances - equal parts functionality and understated elegance. The primary suite is generously proportioned and has 2 closets. It is anchored by an impressive bath featuring a double vanity and abundant space - a luxury seldom found in this category. In-unit laundry with full-sized washer and dryer (installed Summer 2025) adds daily convenience. A new garbage disposal (February 2026) and a well-maintained HVAC system (AC installed 2019, regularly serviced) reflect conscientious ownership. Western exposure fills the private balcony with warm afternoon light, overlooking mature trees and offering a quiet retreat at day's end - sunsets included. Additional features include: * Heated garage parking with assigned space * Private storage locker * Secure, pet-friendly building * Professionally managed community * Walkable access to library, grocery, dining, parks, Pickleball courts and trails * Immediate access to IL-53, I-90, I-290, and I-355 Kimball Square is a community where residents tend to stay - a testament to its comfort, location, and design. Two of these rare Ames models transferred in 2025; historically, they do not circulate often. A standout value - this oversized one-bedroom offers lower monthly assessments than comparable units in nearby communities. For those seeking space without excess, privacy without isolation, and a home that lives well beyond its bedroom count, this offering stands apart. A refined primary residence. An ideal executive retreat. A rare opportunity.
