Welcome to 72 Nicholas Dr E in beautiful Buckingham Place! Explore this RARE end-unit townhome featuring three levels of comfortable living space, a spacious layout, and numerous upgrades. UPDATES include a freshly stained and painted patio (2025), NEW dishwasher (2025), Tesla EV charger (2023), humidifier (2021). Enter the home and be greeted by an open concept floor plan with ample natural lighting, 9' ceiling, and gleaming engineered hardwood flooring on the main level. The majority of windows in the home have custom Bali Blackout Cellular Shades, which provide insulation, light filtration and privacy. Create your favorite recipes in the kitchen, which offers all stainless steel appliances, tall cabinetry, granite countertops, a pantry for storage, and an island with an overhang for four stools. For formal dining or large gatherings, the dining room can seat an extra-long dining set and boasts an updated gold chandelier light fixture. On sunny days, imagine enjoying a cup of coffee or grilling on the balcony! Ascend the stairs to the second level to find the large primary bedroom, en suite bathroom with double sinks and extra large shower with seating, and walk-in closet. The two secondary bedrooms share the full bath in the hallway and the laundry closet on the same level provides great convenience. But wait, there's more! Descend the stairs to the lower level for the family room, which can double as a WFH office, workout area, play room, you name it. A bonus room and walk-in closet are available for additional storage. The 2-car garage is operated by the myQ smart garage door opener and equipped with a Tesla EV charger - one less thing for you to do! Enjoy the luxury of a fully integrated, app-controlled smart home experience with the Google Home ecosystem (Nest Thermostat, Nest Doorbell, and Nest x Yale Lock), which offers unified security with remote locking/unlocking, real-time video surveillance, and automated climate control. Living in the Buckingham Place community is exceptionally easy and peaceful; the HOA covers lawn care, snow removal, trash, AND provides a gazebo, tot lot, playground, park, a half basketball court, gated dog park plus stocked dog waste stations (baggies and trash), maintained pond, and guest parking. Events/parties are permitted in the tot lot, dead-end concrete landing, and area near gazebo (with Board approval). Attends highly-rated Maine West High School. Just minutes from the Interstate, Metra station, grocery stores such as Mariano's and Costco, restaurants, nature preserves, and more. This one is truly home!
