About This Home

304 W Van Buren Street

Extensively Updated Cape Cod with Finished Basement, Outdoor Oasis & Solar Energy Savings! This beautifully improved 1.5-story Cape Cod in Marengo offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and major modern upgrades - with significant improvements completed within the last 4 years. Step inside to find updated trim and crown molding, a custom built-in TV feature in the living room, fresh interior and exterior paint, and new carpet in the 3 bedrooms. In the 2nd bedroom boasts a custom built in queen size Murphy bed. Very unique! The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with painted cabinetry, updated countertops, stylish backsplash, and newer dishwasher and microwave/hood - all stainless steel, creating a bright and functional heart of the home. The fully finished basement dramatically expands your living space with Rustoleum rock solid metallic epoxy flooring, upgraded lighting, detailed trim work, and a striking live-edge epoxy bar top - ideal for entertaining. The storage room and laundry area have also been finished and painted with a mold-resistant paint for a clean, polished look. Upstairs, the private primary suite retreat features vaulted ceilings and a spa-inspired shower with a double-head shower and spiral duct HVAC for modern comfort. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy a fenced decorative gravel patio complete with accent lighting and shade sail system, plus a greenhouse, new shed, added garage storage lofts, updated garage with vinyl siding, new porch railings and porch roofs, custom shutters, and extensive landscaping including native gardens and added privacy trees. Additional recent upgrades include newer windows in key living areas, new front and back storm doors, and a whole-home upright carbon filtration system with spin down pretreatment designed to address local water conditions. Energy-conscious buyers will appreciate the leased solar panel system, which transfers to the new owner and helps reduce monthly electric costs. This home reflects true pride of ownership with thoughtful improvements inside and out - offering move-in-ready condition, flexible living space, and long-term value.
