About This Home
As of April 2021This home also boasts a beautifully updated open kitchen, which lends itself to be the central hub for daily activity. The kitchen has a range hood, microwave cubby on the island, generous walk-in pantry, seating for several at the spacious island, plus the kitchen opens to the dining room, with tons of natural light filling the space through the bay window. This home has four generous-sized bedrooms, two on the first floor and two on the second floor, with a bathroom on each level, including the 1/2 bath in the finished basement. Closet & storage space is plentiful in bedrooms and throughout. The front and back sunrooms are enjoyed year-round, with the east-facing sunroom the perfect spot to enjoy morning solitude before the day starts, plus it flaunts enough space to corral coats, shoes, hats, etc. The primary bedroom upstairs has vaulted ceilings, storage areas, and room for a king-size bed, plus a room for a seating area when you need an oasis away. The second upstairs bedroom is generous in size and can hold two twin beds plus furniture. The two bedrooms on the main level are abundant in nature and can function as offices if needed. Looking for more than a living room for a gathering space? Check out the floor plans to see the additional four-season living spaces with front and back sunrooms both heated and cooled when needed, plus the finished basement has amazing space for entertaining, workshop, exercise, etc. Do you have an attention for details? The woodwork in this home will not disappoint since it has been meticulously designed and crafted throughout. This is the home for you with its highly desired expansive lot (50' x 125'), plus it boasts a Bali-style stand-alone pergola (staying with home) with plenty of space to garden, build a fire pit, set up an outdoor movie theater, go camping, and many more creative ideas with ample space. Many of the windows flip down for easy cleaning. The 2.5 car garage and 2 parking spaces are perfect for multiple drivers or a way to pick up extra income. Close to the local grocery store and park district facilities: pool, health club, tennis courts, softball fields, soccer fields, etc. Easy access to Blue Line trains and highways.
