About This Home

Located in the sought-after Harlem School District, this well-maintained 3-bedroom home in Machesney Park delivers space, functionality, and serious upside all on a generous quarter-acre lot. With approximately 1,600 square feet of above-grade living space, the two-story layout offers bright, connected living areas that flow naturally into the kitchen and dining space ideal for everyday living or entertaining. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms provide a practical, family-friendly configuration with flexibility for guests or a home office. The full basement adds a compelling bonus: solid square footage ready to be finished into additional living space, a rec room, home gym, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Outside, the deep backyard offers room to breathe; whether that means weekend gatherings, gardening, space for pets, or a future patio build. The attached garage rounds out the package with everyday convenience and extra storage. Situated in an established neighborhood with city water and sewer, you're minutes from parks, shopping, schools, and major commuter routes. Solid bones. Room to grow. Move-in ready with potential to make it your own. This property is an outstanding opportunity for first-time buyers or growing families looking for value in a desirable Machesney Park location.
