About This Home

As of November 2023

Soaring home prices have made finding a good value these days more difficult to come by than a Chicago Bears victory. But even the Bears manage to eke out a victory every now and then, and the discerning buyer can still find excellent value in today's real estate market. 739 Forest Road in La Grange Park offers just that. Here's an updated, move-in ready brick ranch that's more solid than William 'The Fridge' Perry and offered at only $300,000, which is nearly $200k less than the current average sale price for single family homes in La Grange Park. This home features vintage charm, like the retro-chic glass block barrel wall separating the main living area from the kitchen, and also stylish updates, like the slate fireplace mantel in the living room and obsidian chandelier in the dining room. This home's highlight reel also includes hardwood flooring, stainless steel appliances, a brand-new composite deck (2023), and fully-fenced in yard. The master bedroom addition includes a walk-in closet and vaulted ceilings so high that you could practice throwing Hail Marys in there. How about that? This home not only offers excellent value, but it may just help you become the next Bears quarterback. With an all-star lineup of schools (Forest, Park, & LT) and a location worthy of the Lombardi Trophy, this home is sure to get more attention than this year's Super Bowl commercials.
