Welcome to 911 Water Stone Way, where thoughtful design, top-tier upgrades and peaceful country living come together in one exceptional home. Situated on a spacious corner lot in the charming town of Malta, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers over 2,300 square feet of quality craftsmanship and is meticulously maintained. Located in a quiet subdivision featuring a stocked lake, mile-long walking path, playground and pavilion, you'll enjoy the perfect blend of rural tranquility and community all just a short drive from DeKalb, NIU, shopping, and dining. Step inside to an impressive 2-story foyer filled with natural light and timeless bamboo flooring that flows through most of the main level. The open layout was made for entertaining, with a dedicated dining room, formal living room and a show stopping chef's kitchen. The kitchen features granite countertops, a tiled backsplash and high-end appliances, two pantries and oversized island with a built-in Jenn-Air convection oven/microwave. The true highlight - A luxury 40" ILVE range with griddle, rotisserie, and pot filler-ideal for any home chef. The open-concept design continues into the 2-story family room, complete with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and wired for surround sound. Upstairs, a sunny loft overlooks the family room, offering flexible space for an office, playroom, or cozy retreat. Each bedroom features custom lighted cove molding with dimmable lighting for a soft, upscale feel. The basement includes a full-size area with a rough-in for a bathroom and a separate crawl space- for extra storage. The oversized garage is deep enough to fit a full-size pickup and still offers space for tools or hobbies. Outdoors, enjoy quiet country evenings under the heavy-duty pergola on your stamped concrete patio, or relax on the front porch with your morning coffee. Why wait for new construction when this home is move-in ready, beautifully upgraded and already packed with character and quality finishes! This is not just a house-it's a home you can feel proud of from the moment you walk in!
