Resting behind towering pine trees on a peaceful Addison street, this mid-century gem could be your ideal next move! Set on nearly half an acre, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath single-story residence seamlessly blends classic character, smart upgrades, and amazing growth potential. A wide picture window pours sunlight across the gleaming hardwood floors of your living room, where a calm, neutral palette creates a welcoming ambiance. The adjacent eat-in kitchen serves up vintage appeal with its original cabinetry and durable vinyl floors, ready for morning coffee or casual fare. Two bright and comfortable bedrooms with high windows and generous closets share a tastefully tiled hall bath with a tub-shower combo. Imagine laid-back weekends hosting BBQs on the concrete patio outside, surrounded by a fenced yard that can expand into a garden, an orchard, or the outdoor retreat of your dreams. A detached 2-car garage includes a handy step-up level for storage or a workshop, and the extra shed keeps your tools and toys organized. An ample laundry nook doubles as a mudroom for everyday convenience. Thoughtful renovations include newer windows, front and screen doors, updated plumbing, refreshed attic insulation, refinished hardwood floors, and all new outlets and switches. The siding was replaced in 2015, the roof in 2016, and the garage was rebuilt in 2021. Positioned near Twin Lakes Park, Cricket Creek Forest Preserve, golf courses, various shopping centers, local schools, and commuter routes including I-290, you're also just a short drive to downtown Naperville or Chicago's vibrant city core. Come see how effortless and exciting life can feel at this distinctive home!
Under $100,000!!! Nice starter or rental featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, hardwood floors in bedrooms and living room, 2-car expanded garage and 75 x 283 lot. Needs TLC. Estate sale. Sold "as is". No disclosures.
