About This Home

As of February 2021

This super clean Munster ranch has a history of happy times, a floorplan to love, and a ton of showstopper potential. With newer windows, hardwood under carpet, updated electric, newer foundation walls, newer duct work, newer driveway, new exterior doors, a remodeled main bath, and updated kitchen cabinets, counters, and flooring, you can forget about spending money on big ticket items, and fill this house with fun touches to make it your own. Imagine shining hardwood next to floor to ceiling windows in the huge living area! How about bedrooms that fit larger beds? Imagine having extra space near a half bath to add a shower. Imagine a sprawling basement filled with friends and laughter. Imagine a low traffic cul de sac that includes open space, and a large, sunny back yard for playing, gathering, or gardening. Imagine low taxes, an easy commute to Chicago, great schools, and walkability galore. Imagine your happy future - it's all here!
