About This Home

5131 Fair Elms Avenue

Charming Cape Cod on a stunning wooded lot! Welcome home to this updated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Cape Cod, perfectly situated on a massive 75x150 lot in the highly desirable Forest Hills neighborhood of Western Springs. Combining classic character with thoughtful updates, this move-in-ready home is designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. The home offers a highly sought-after layout, featuring two bedrooms and a full bathroom conveniently located on the first floor-ideal for a primary bedroom, guest suite, or dedicated home office. The heart of the home is the stunning, sun-filled family room addition. Boasting vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light, it provides a seamless flow directly to the backyard. The updated kitchen and first-floor bathroom (2025) beautifully blend modern style with everyday functionality. Upstairs, you will find two additional generously sized bedrooms and a second full bathroom along with abundant attic storage. The finished basement provides valuable extra living space, perfect for a recreation room, media center, or home gym. Recent major updates provide total peace of mind, including a brand-new A/C unit and a new washer/dryer (2025). The attached two-car garage adds essential everyday convenience. Step outside to your private retreat: the exceptionally large wooded lot offers a scenic, spacious yard with plenty of room to relax, play, or garden under the canopy of mature trees. The location is truly second to none. You are situated just steps away from Forest Hills Elementary School and neighborhood parks and perfectly positioned close to vibrant downtown Western Springs, offering quick and easy access to charming restaurants, boutique shopping, and the Metra train for a seamless commute.
