About this home
Welcome to 2648 Western Ave, an exceptional opportunity in one of Highland Park's most desirable locations. Set on a beautiful half-acre lot, this classic brick ranch with a walk-out lower level offers the perfect canvas to create your ideal home or a compelling value-add investment. With 5 bedrooms and 3.1 bathrooms, the home features a functional, flexible layout with strong bones and abundant natural light. The main level includes a sun-filled living room with a full wall fireplace, a spacious eat-in kitchen, and comfortable bedroom spaces ready to enjoy as-is or thoughtfully update over time. The finished walk-out lower level adds incredible versatility, offering a large family room, additional bedroom or office, full bath, laundry area, and a private-entry in-law suite with a kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Ideal for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or potential rental income, this space truly expands what the home can offer. The expansive lot provides room to garden, entertain, or explore future possibilities, while the location delivers unmatched convenience-just minutes from downtown Highland Park and Highwood, Metra access, parks, top-rated schools, and the lakefront. Whether you're looking to move in and make it your own or unlock its full potential over time, this is a rare opportunity in a location that consistently delivers.
