Talk about pride in homeownership. The current owner has lived here for over 40 years! The landscaping is gorgeous right now with peonies along the back, and flowers blooming everywhere around the brick pavers leading to the front door. Only .3 miles to the College Ave Metra station, you can walk in about 6 minutes! This beautiful brick ranch has a family room addition (nearly 400 sq ft) on the back of the house that adds great potential for this home. There is plenty of space to also add in another bedroom and bathroom and still have room to spare. The main living room has great natural light, thanks to the large picture windows on the front of the house. It also has crown molding and a stone gas fireplace that is ready for your TV to be mounted with wiring that has already been routed to the side for you! The shared dining room leads you to a bonus room that could be a great office. In between the garage and dining room, it is fully finished and has glass French doors to separate the space without sacrificing natural light from the skylight! The skylight and exposed brick and wood made this a great creative space. It also has an entry door to the garage, so no need to walk outside during the winter or rain! The extra deep 26' garage has an epoxy coated floor and lots of shelves for storage. The driveway has been extended 16' wide so you can accommodate two cars in the driveway without having to shuffle them around! The kitchen has been updated with brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring, newer cabinets, granite countertops, and an undermounted stainless steel sink. The huge laundry room has a mud sink and great storage that could be used as a walk in pantry. The bedrooms both have overhead lighting and great natural light as well. The bathroom features a tiled stand up shower with seat and gray ceramic tile floor. The backyard space has a a brick paver/concrete patio that leads to the beautifully maintained garden areas in the back.
