The exposed brick chimney, all brand-new windows, refinished hardwood floors, new lighting, and staircase millwork enhance the overall appeal.

The main rooms overlook the massive back yard and a brick patio. And wait... there's more: brand-new furnace and A/C, newer electric panel, new yard shed, attached two-car garage & more. Super close to Ft. Sheridan Metra train and 472 Bus.
