Thoughtfully designed with ADA-compliant features, this 2-bedroom, 1.1-bathroom home offers a spacious and versatile floor plan tailored for comfort and modern living. As you enter, you'll be welcomed by a warm and inviting ambiance. The original living room features beautiful hardwood flooring, multiple windows that flood the space with natural light, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace-perfect for relaxing evenings. The thoughtfully designed wheelchair-accessible kitchen is divided into two functional zones: one with granite countertops, a breakfast nook, and a lowered stovetop for easy access; the other with newer cabinetry, granite countertops, a double wall oven, a beverage fridge, and a lowered sink and work surface. Both bedrooms feature hardwood floors and walk-in closets, with one offering a convenient en-suite half bath. The real showstopper is the expansive addition, which serves as a second living room or could be easily transformed into a luxurious primary suite. This light-filled space showcases tray ceilings, hardwood flooring, a full wall of windows, and built-in cabinets and bookshelves. A sliding glass door opens to the brand-new deck, perfect for entertaining or enjoying your morning coffee in a serene setting. There is also an excellent office/library space with built in bookshelves and a door to the backyard. A wide staircase-equipped with a wheelchair lift-leads to the unfinished basement, which includes a rough-in for a future bathroom, offering endless potential for customization. Step outside to enjoy the peaceful outdoor setting. The extra-large covered front porch extends nearly the full length of the home and provides a charming space to relax and unwind. A 2-car detached garage, a gently sloped front ramp, and lovely landscaping-including blooming perennials and rows of roses in the warmer months-add to the home's curb appeal. Practical upgrades ensure year-round comfort and peace of mind, including dual heating systems (a newer attic furnace and an efficient boiler system), and a whole-house generator for reliable backup power. This home is truly designed with accessibility in mind, offering features such as lever-style door handles, lower light switches, ADA-height countertops and appliances, and a wheelchair lift to the basement (sold AS-IS). Ideally located just minutes from Hinsdale South High School, and close to Plainfield Road, 75th Street, and Route 83, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, schools, and major commuting routes. Whether you're looking for a forever home with accessibility features, space to expand, or a unique layout with character and charm, 201 Janet Avenue is the perfect blend of function, comfort, and location.
