This residence is ideal for those seeking a multi-generational living arrangement, a dedicated home business, a car enthusiast, or anyone seeking a large property with many possibilities!

A standout feature of this property is the separate 962-square-foot building, which is perfect for a home office, studio, or guest suite for someone willing to put work into it. This versatile space offers endless possibilities but requires rehab. The expansive lot provides plenty of outdoor space. Located close to the forest preserve and not far from downtown Des Plaines. Don't miss the opportunity to make this unique property your own. Schedule a showing today and explore all the possibilities it has to offer!
