About This Home

As of March 2025

Come home to happiness! Enter the front door into a two story foyer with the living room on the left and the dining room the right. The sunny living room has a large bay window and a stone fireplace. The dining room is big and like the rest of the house is all hardwood floors. Walking toward the back of the house is the family room with a brick fireplace, sliding glass doors to a large wood deck, a wet bar and a half bath. Between the family room and the kitchen is a 1st floor bedroom. The kitchen has oak cabinets, an eating area and an island. There is a full bath, a half bath, a walk-in-pantry and a laundry room on the first floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms, 2 full baths and a storage area over the garage that can hold everything you ever thought to store! There is a full basement that has an area set up as a vintage traditional bar. The iconic bar has a sink, refrigerator, vintage ice machine, bar stools and memories waiting to be made. This property has a Gen X 16 kw whole house generator. Schools are close, the forest preserve trails and Lake Michigan are a bike ride away and Chicago is only 14 miles south. This beautiful home with a big attached garage is available now.
