About This Home

Move-In Ready Brick Cape Cod in Prime Des Plaines Location! Charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Cape Cod features a classic brick exterior and an inviting, relaxed feel. A tranquil breezeway connects the home to a large, private, tree-lined backyard - perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet afternoons. Inside, you'll find gleaming oak hardwood floors, a main-floor primary bedroom, and a beautifully updated full bath. The kitchen has been refreshed with new quartz countertops and brand-new stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs offers two cozy bedrooms with a rustic, cabin-like atmosphere and a convenient half bath. The full unfinished basement provides plenty of storage and awaits your finishing ideas. Additional highlights include newer vinyl windows, an updated 100-amp electrical panel, newer hot water tank (2020), furnace and central air (approx. 4-5 years new), and a roof around 10 years old. Located in a quiet neighborhood of single-family homes within an award-winning school district - all at a great price! There's still time to move in before the holidays!
