About 101 Hickory Lane
Exceptionally spacious home in the heart of Kirkland that delivers room to breathe, inside and out. From the moment you step through the door, soaring ceilings and an open, airy layout set the tone for a residence that truly stands apart. The versatile loft space adds a flexible upper-level retreat, ideal as a home office, reading nook, play area, or creative studio. However you use it, the extra square footage gives this home a sense of expansiveness you will not find just anywhere. The main living areas are designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. Recent updates throughout the home reflect genuine pride of ownership. The kitchen shines with Cambria quartz countertops and a matching backsplash (2019), complemented by a brand-new dishwasher (2026). The first-floor powder room was tastefully upgraded with wainscoting and a new vanity (2019), adding a refined touch to a space guests use every day. Due to the layout of the home, there is the potential for a 4th bedroom. This home has been maintained with major systems thoughtfully addressed, giving you peace of mind from day one: Roof (2023), 75-gallon water heater (2018), new sump pump with battery backup and portable generator (2024), water softener (2018), and a whole-home water filtration system (2018). Fruit trees and a well-established garden create a serene backdrop for weekend mornings with a cup of coffee or summer sunsets that are to die for! And with an attached 3-car garage, there is no shortage of room for vehicles, storage, workshop space, or all of the above. Kirkland, nestled in DeKalb County, offers a quiet, rural lifestyle with the convenience of being just 17 miles north of DeKalb and within easy reach of Interstate 90 via Route 72. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the South Branch Kishwaukee River for fishing and kayaking, the 300-acre Potawatomi Woods Forest Preserve, and Pioneer Park Disc Golf. Franklin Township Park provides playgrounds and picnic areas close to home. The village is also known for its Fourth of July festival, which hosts one of the largest fireworks displays in the county. Enjoy the simplicity of small-town living without sacrificing access to shopping, dining, and healthcare in nearby DeKalb and beyond. This well-cared-for home is conveyed as is and the sellers are offering a home warranty to the buyer for peace of mind after closing!
