Charming ranch sits in Countryside, but in the La Grange school district with highly rated Spring Avenue Elementary and William F Gurrie Middle School - just a block away! Enjoy lower taxes on this brick ranch with hardwood floors on the main level. Generous living room with picture window brings in tons of natural light! Updated, eat in kitchen with maple cabinets and corian counters and some new appliances (refrigerator 2025, dishwasher 2026) and view out big, bright window to the front yard. Two side by side recently enhanced adjacent baths introduce potential opportunity to reconfigure for an en suite and additional shower/tub, or can be left and enjoyed as-is. Full basement with luxury vinyl tile flooring throughout doubles the homes' size by adding a large recreation area and second living space, generous walk-in pantry/storage closet, office or basement bedroom (no egress), and laundry room with storage. Fully fenced backyard faces east, keeping cooler during hot afternoons. Deck refinished 2025. Cement fire pit added and new landscaping 2025. Newly painted storage shed included. Roof 2015, HVAC 2015, Hot water heater 2015, Sump pump w/back up 2023, blinds 2023. This location is A++!
