About This Home

As of September 2025

WARM WORTHY WARREN~Step inside and discover a home that's as practical as it is inviting. Welcome home to 5517 Warren Street - a thoughtfully maintained 3 bed, 2 bath split-level on the Skokie/Morton Grove border in the excellent D219 school district. This home stands out for its smart layout, abundant natural light, and beautiful hardwood floors. Updated bathrooms (2016) and a refreshed lower-level family room (2020) enhance everyday comfort. The dining room's French doors open to a stamped concrete patio and fenced, perennial-filled yard - a private, low-maintenance retreat. At the end of a quiet alley, the 2-car garage offers privacy and convenience, plus an attached workshop for storage or creative projects. Garage includes a work vacuum AS IS (never used). Recent updates add value and peace of mind: furnace (2023), water heater (2020), oven (2024), dishwasher (2023), washer/dryer (2017). The lot spans 1.5 parcels (2 PINs), giving you more yard and possibilities. Seller requests possession through Jan 1 or sooner so would love a flexible buyer. Home warranty included for the buyer as a one-year closing gift. This home is walkable to downtown Skokie, lovely Lorel Park, and the CTA Yellow Line, and is a five-minute drive to Metra. Don't miss the chance to own this move-in ready home with meaningful updates and flexible living space - schedule your showing today.
