About This Home
As of August 2024Nestled in a charming neighborhood on an impressive 60x126 lot, this 3 bedroom 2 bath home seamlessly combines comfort, classic appeal, and functionality. As you enter, you'll be greeted by gleaming hardwood floors that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The living room flows into a formal dining area, a well-appointed kitchen, and a spacious family room that serves as a perfect spot for enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The primary bedroom is privately located in a quiet corner of the home, while the two full bathrooms offer convenience for the entire household. The lower level features a partially finished rec room ideal for entertaining, with potential to add a fourth bedroom and full bathroom. In 2010, flood control and drain tiles were installed around the basement for added protection. Outside, the beautifully landscaped backyard provides ample space for outdoor activities, gardening, or relaxation. The driveway enhances the home's curb appeal, complemented by a two car detached garage (2022). Located just down the street from Westchester Middle School and near Brezina Woods and Brookfield Zoo. Close proximity to Jewel-Osco, Target, Home Depot, dining options, and offers easy access to the expressway.
