This spacious split-level features an attached two-car garage, providing sheltered access in all weather. Step out back to a large concrete patio-perfect for entertaining-and a fully fenced yard where kids and pets can play freely. Inside, the open-concept layout centers around a modern kitchen with a large island that flows into the living and dining areas. Upgrades include porcelain tile, sleek cabinetry, stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Remodeled bathrooms offer custom tile showers and contemporary finishes. Light-stained hardwood floors run through the living and dining rooms, staircase, hallway, and all bedrooms, adding warmth and continuity. Additional highlights include updated mechanical systems, a concrete crawl space for extra storage, and exterior improvements such as a newer asphalt roof, vinyl windows and siding, and aluminum soffits, fascia, and gutters. Ideally located near elementary, middle, and high schools, with quick access to Highways 90, 290, and 53, Metra, Woodfield Mall, and major shopping destinations.
