About This Home

As of April 2021

Ideally located on Colfax St, just a few houses to award winning elementary & middle schools. 2 blocks to the Metra. 3 blocks to the Central St business district: home to coffee shops, eateries & numerous one-of-a-kind boutiques. 1908 Colfax is an end unit, located at the front of the building, overlooking picturesque homes on a tree-lined street. So much to love about this unit: 3 bedrooms, a finished basement recreation room, newer Andersen windows, newer roof, exposed wood & beam ceilings on 2nd floor, fresh neutral paint & oak hardwood under the carpet! Large grass yard for outdoor enjoyment & a parking space designed to park 2 cars. The building is solid brick and well maintained by the association. As-Is.
