Upon entering the home, you are greeted by the meticulously maintained details from the classic front porch to the built-in bookcase with glass doors in the foyer to the decorative molding throughout. The fantastic flexible floor plan on the first floor seamlessly moves you from one room to the next. No shortage of space between the generous-sized living room that could be used as a combo living/dining room and the updated kitchen with the large light-filled eating area that is big enough for a full-sized dining set and then some. This area could also be used as a family/hangout room off the kitchen as there is enough room in the breakfast area for another table. Huge windows overlooking the backyard. There is more than ample storage in this section of the house with loads of cabinet space and a walk-in pantry. The first floor also offers a bedroom with an updated full bath. The two main bedrooms on the second floor are split with a bonus room that could be used as an office, playroom, or cozy nook to curl up with a book after a long day. The large unfinished basement is where the laundry area is located. It is also great for additional storage or to use as a workshop for weekend projects. The backyard with raised garden beds and a rain barrel is ready for the next gardener, while the pavers patio is perfect for BBQs and entertaining. Conveniently located 2 blocks from the Blue Line EL for easy commutes into the city or to O'Hare. The house is also 2 blocks from the Forest Park Recreation Area with tennis courts, pool, sports fields, and more. New dishwasher in 2022. Porch and interior repainted in 2021. New window treatments in 2021. The roof, water heater, and stove are 2016. Nothing to do but move in and enjoy!
