Main floor includes ample living room with fireplace, a cozy kitchen and dining area, with lots of additional space downstairs in an open area family room, a large half bath, laundry, a workshop & extra storage. The roof was updated June 2010, new central air and furnace installed October 2015, recent equipment & appliances include the oven & the refrigerator (replaced Dec 2014) & the double-wide garage door was replaced two years ago. Walking distance to Metra commuter train line and to PACE bus routes.
