About This Home

Are you looking for a Bungalow in Forest Park to make your own? This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is ready for you to customize to match your style. The roof on the home and garage is less than 10 years old, there is already a perimeter drain in the basement, and some windows have been updated. The basement doubles your square footage, especially since the ceiling height is abundant. The unfinished area height is 7', the recreation room height is mostly 6'8". The location is near the Chicago Blue Line train entrance at Circle or the main station at Des Plaines. Highway 290 entrance on Des Plaines going west, or the Harlem 290 entrance, is also easy to access. Loyola Medical Center and Rush Oak Park are nearby for an easy commute. Downtown Forest Park and Oak Park, with all their restaurants and shops, make living in the area convenient. Bring your ideas.
