About This Home
Hot Spot Alert! This downtown cul-de-sac gem is just a short stroll to the beach and Metra - talk about location goals! Packed with charm and serious curb appeal, this 4 -bed beauty checks all the boxes. You'll love the character and charm plus a dreamy deck for summer hangs. The kitchen brings the wow with 42" cabinets and granite counters, and the bathrooms? Sleek granite and stylish ceramic tile. The primary suite serves luxury with a walk-in closet, built-in drawers, and natural light galore. The finished basement brings the fun with a half bath, cozy family room, and tons of storage. Beautiful hardwood floors, arched doorways, white trim, newer stainless steel appliances. Top it off with a 2-car garage and a fully fenced yard - perfect for pups or playtime. All this just minutes to downtown shops, parks, schools, restaurants, the lake, and the train. This one's got it all!
