About This Home

As of April 2020

Welcome to this mid-century modern ranch with many well thought out updates throughout the home. Updated kitchen, windows, electrical panel, roof, whole house generator, doors, lighting, new hall bath, fresh paint, Oak flooring, heated garage and more. The main level contains 3 bedrooms and two baths, a beautifully updated living room/dining room looking out to the wooded backyard. Sunroom/den is a very tranquil room for everyday reading and relaxing. The lower level contains an office, family room, bedroom, full bath, tons of storage, a workshop area, & Bosch washer and dryer. Two fireplaces in the home are "as is" as the owners do not use them. They have loved their home for 40 plus years and settled here because it is a great town to raise a family, they love the neighborhood and of course the quality of the schools. Close to metra, downtown Itasca, major roads and more. Come and see this truly unique home on this beautifully wooded lot backing up to the Springbrook Nature Center. You will be glad you did.
