About This Home

As of December 2015

A STAND OUT! This large 4 bedroom and clean home welcomes you with a circle drive situated on a corner lot with fenced yard. Relax or entertain in the living room which opens to a very big eat-in kitchen with all appliances to remain. There is a real benefit to this floor plan with two separate living spaces. The main floor provides three bedrooms with a full bath along with ample closet space. Downstairs is an L-shape tiled family room/rec room or gym along with the massive FOURTH bedroom and extra bath(great for guests or related living). The finished laundry room provides yet more storage. Did we mention the attached garage? The fenced backyard has a tiered deck and pool as well as storage shed but still allows for room to roam. With a location ideal for access to shopping, dining, major highways and still a short commute to anywhere in the Chicago area you should book your appointment today. Seller may be willing to assist in closing costs with accepted offer. LOW taxes!
