From the gorgeous wainscoting to the large, updated kitchen to the new 2nd bath, lovely paver patio in the backyard, dual zoned heating and central air conditioning - not to mention the location - this one is THE one! The living / dining room is spacious with high ceilings, hardwood floors and wainscoting. Upstairs is an oasis with a primary bedroom and flex space (office? play room? rec room? you get to pick!). Relax on the new paver patio with your favorite beverage, or head on over to the awesome Forest Park Park District a half block away which features a pool, tennis courts, baseball fields, playground and more! The current owners did all of the things you don't want to - they installed drain tile, sump pump with battery back up and flood control system to keep the basement dry, regraded the landscaping, re-poured the cement walkway, installed a new copper water line, replaced the roof and siding, had insulation blown in upstairs (no more freezing winters and sweltering summers up there!), ADDED a whole new bathroom upstairs, rewired the entire house, installed a new electrical panel, replaced the basement furnace and more! This house is READY for you to move in and enjoy! Check the list for all of the Updates, and take a look at it in person Today!
