Description

This home has all of the charm you would expect in a bungalow, but with some updates and upgrades. The lovely 3 season sunroom on the front of the house is perfect for morning coffee. When you're not enjoying the sunroom, the kitchen has been updated along with the bathroom and there is partially finished space in the basement. This home has a lot of space to spread out and cozy up with a good book and a hot cocoa. The large garage is perfect for parking or allows for additional storage.

The lovely 3 season sunroom on the front of the house is perfect for morning coffee.

This home has a lot of space to spread out and cozy up with a good book and a hot cocoa. The large garage is perfect for parking or allows for additional storage. This Northside home is close to all of the N Dirksen Pkwy shopping and restaurants, I-55 access, the state fairgrounds, 5 min from the medical district and 10 min from downtown. It's a sweet home in a great location and it's been pre-inspected and being sold as-reported.
