The Kitchen and Main Level: Built to Gather

The kitchen anchors the main level, with quartz counters, a center island with seating, and a walk-in pantry, paired with a genuinely high-end appliance package: a Fisher & Paykel gas range and refrigerator alongside a Bosch dishwasher. It's a layout built for both a weeknight dinner and a full house of guests.

The dining area opens through sliding glass doors to the outdoor space, and the family room's wood-burning fireplace gives the main level a second, more relaxed gathering spot. A first-floor office adds real work-from-home flexibility, and first-floor laundry keeps the everyday logistics simple.

Upstairs and the Walkout Basement: Room to Actually Spread Out

The primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and a full bath with a soaking tub, double sink, and separate shower. Three additional upstairs bedrooms share generous closet space and built-in shelving.

The finished walkout basement is where this home offers something most listings at this price point don't: a genuine fifth bedroom with its own full bath, a large recreation and sleeping area, and separate storage and utility rooms, all with direct exterior access. That's real flexibility for extended family, guests, or a private home office setup, without anyone feeling like they're living in a converted basement.

An unfinished attic with interior stairs adds one more layer of future potential, whether that's a playroom, studio, or additional living space down the road.

The Setting: Wayne Township and the Illinois Prairie Path

This is the part that sets 28w600 Indian Knoll Road apart from nearly anything else on the market at this price.

The Illinois Prairie Path runs right behind the property, part of a trail system that connects across northern DuPage County. In fact, DuPage County's largest forest preserve, Pratt's Wayne Woves, sits nearby in this same Wayne Township area, and its Illinois Prairie Path connection was completed in 2022, linking the preserve's own trail network directly to the broader path system. Pratt's Wayne Woods spans over 3,400 acres of wetlands, woodlands, and prairie, with more than 12 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.

For a household weighing privacy against convenience, this is a rare combination: nearly an acre of your own land, backing to a trail that connects to thousands of acres of protected forest preserve, while still sitting close enough to West Chicago for everyday errands and commuting.

Location and Commuting

The property offers easy access to I-355 and I-88, along with the West Chicago Metra Station for train commuters into the city.
