About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to this freshly painted and extensively upgraded 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offering comfort, efficiency, and space to grow. Outfitted with new, energy-efficient Renewal by Andersen windows-featuring triple-pane glass, wood frames, and a transferable warranty-this home is built for long-term savings and peace of mind. The exterior features new insulated siding and a newly poured concrete front porch, adding a clean touch. Inside, both bathrooms have been completely remodeled, and the HVAC system is less than 5 years old, equipped with a Honeywell Home Wi-Fi programmable thermostat for convenient, energy-efficient climate control. The water heater was replaced within the last 5 years. Major mechanical upgrades include most of the plumbing replaced, including the main sewer line under the basement floor, a new electrical panel, and updated wiring throughout, bringing the entire home up to current code. The basement includes a full kitchen, already in place and just waiting for final touches-ideal for a guest suite, rental opportunity, or extended family living. The unfinished attic offers the potential to create a large third bedroom, a home office, or a playroom-whatever suits your lifestyle. Commuters will appreciate the convenient access to public transportation, major highways, O'Hare International Airport and multiple nearby Metra stations, including Forest Glen, Mayfair, and Irving Park, offering direct routes to downtown Chicago. You're also just minutes away from local shopping, dining, grocery stores, and the vibrant communities of Elmwood Park and Harwood Heights. Don't miss the opportunity to own a thoughtfully updated home in a sought-after location-schedule your private tour today and imagine the possibilities!
