About this home

Charming, warm, and full of opportunity, this inviting single-family home offers flexible living spaces designed to grow with you. The main level welcomes you with natural light and comfort, featuring two bedrooms-including one with a walk-in closet and the other with a step-in closet - quite unusual for the age of this home. One full bath, and a kitchen with a walk-in pantry that's ready for everyday living. The large rear porch extends your living space, perfect for morning coffee, summer evenings, or hosting friends. While there is room to make updates and add your own style, the home is comfortably move-in ready-allowing you to settle in now and improve over time at your own pace. Overall, freshly painted with wallpaper removed, the home feels bright, clean, and ready for its next chapter. From the rear porch, step outside and you'll discover one of this home's most special features: an extra-wide city lot, creating a rare sense of space in this area. The fully fenced yard is lined with established perennial gardens that return year after year-an unexpected delight that brings color, texture, and life to the property with minimal effort, even for a novice gardener. Upstairs, a private retreat awaits with a bedroom and adjoining sitting room-ideal for a cozy reading nook, home office, or nursery-with the flexibility to create an additional bedroom. A convenient half bath completes the space, offering both function and future potential. Tucked away on a quiet side street yet incredibly connected, you're just moments from the Kennedy Expressway, Metra, and Blue Line, making daily commutes to downtown Chicago or O'Hare refreshingly simple. A detached 2 car garage, walk-out basement, and abundant storage throughout add to the home's everyday practicality. Taxes do not reflect a homeowner's exemption, offering potential savings for an owner-occupant. Recent updates include a new A/C unit. Property is being conveyed AS-IS.
