About This Home

Property has Two PIN#s sold together (Seller will not divide or separate). Vacant land under common ownership with adjacent residence is 3,300 sq ft (25' x 132'1" per county assessor) SOLID BRICK RANCH offers so much potential.

Large kitchen offers natural light from the skylight plus has room for table & chairs and/or a custom island, you decide. The main level offers hardwood floors under carpet, three spacious bedrooms, and a full bath, a comfortable living room with a wood burning fireplace and separate dining room. Basement includes possible 4th bedroom or bonus room, full bathroom, along with a 27 x 14 rec room that also has a wood burning fireplace and a wet bar. Basement also features a 15 x 15 work room, large laundry room and separate utility room 9 x 9. You will feel like you are always outdoors in the cozy 4 seasons room which provides its own heating and cooling unit. Enjoy the outdoors on the deck that overlooks the huge, fenced backyard. The adjacent lot extends the yard for room to relax or do gardening and is perfect for outdoor entertaining. Convenient storage shed stays with the property. Close to downtown DES PLAINES and Metra
