About This Home
As of May 2025The joys of single family living in this wonderful courtyard townhome. Spacious and open floor plan that has been freshly painted. Great living space with flexible layout. Large living room with gas fireplace adjoins the huge dining room that opens to the enormous kitchen offering vast countertop and cabinet space, SS appliances and a huge breakfast bar. Main floor family room with new tile leads to 2-car attached garage. True 3 bedroom unit with all bedrooms on the same level. Master bedroom has double closets and private bath with separate shower and soaking tub plus double sinks. Convenient full-sized laundry room on top floor. Peaceful rooftop space begs for a new deck to enjoy the summer! Meticulous owners have made several improvements over their ownership (see brochure!). Great location just blocks from Main St, the El and Metra trains, plus all the shops and restaurants along Main & Chicago Ave corridors.
