About This Home
As of January 2025Check out this amazing home that backs up to the County forest preserve. This 4BR/2.5BA home has been continually updated over the years and features hardwood floors, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a wood burning fireplace, master bathroom and a 2-car garage. The standout feature of this home is the great room in the rear of the house. It has wood ceiling planks, ceiling fans, a wood burning fireplace and plenty of windows to view the natural setting in the adjacent Sauk Trail Woods Cook County Forest Preserve. This peaceful, serene setting in the rear of the house has a large open field where wildlife can often be seen. Further up Chestnut Drive is access to the forest preserve trail system. The kitchen features quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms, including a full master bathroom, were updated in 2021. The home has a detached two-car garage, a vinyl fence was installed in 2017, exterior siding was installed in 2021 and the driveway was recently seal coated. This is a one of a kind home in many ways due its forest preserve adjacent location and layout. Unlike other homes in the neighborhood, the great room adds a lot of space to the home which brings the total size to just over 1,900 square feet. The color selections, fixtures and high quality finishes really set this home apart from the standard rehabs. The lower level has large glass block windows which let in plenty of natural light and the bedroom and adjacent bathroom is an ideal set up for related living. The home is located on the east side of Park Forest and within Steger school district 194. This home will not last long!
