About This Home

As of August 2022

Welcome home to this beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home located in the heart of Oak Forest. This home is much larger than it looks and has loads of storage. The main level of the home is flooded with natural light and features hardwood floors. The kitchen has plenty of space for cooking, loads of counter tops and features a breakfast bar. You'll find 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on the main level while the 4th bedroom, currently being used as a playroom, is located on the lower level with the second bathroom. The large lower level family room features a beautiful wood burning fireplace and plush carpeting that was new in 2020. The white vinyl fence in the backyard was installed in 2021, the HVAC system in 2016, roof was a complete tear off in 2014 and the hot water tank was new in 2013. The Nest thermostat does not stay and the two sheds, playset and security cameras are negotiable. Feels like home!
