About this home

You'll be wowed by this expansive Galewood home, sitting pretty on an oversized corner lot just 3 blocks from the Mars Metra station - you can be downtown in under 30 minutes. 3 bedroom, 1.2 bath. 3 levels of living space and a huge fenced yard offer plenty of room for entertaining, multiple work-from-home options, cozy spaces for family time and loads of storage. The sellers have been wonderful stewards of their home replacing the roof, water heater, refrigerator, washer, dryer, living room and kitchen windows and the double-insulated garage door within the last 4 years. Fresh paint and updated lighting help to show off the already sunny, large rooms and the gleaming hardwood floors. All 3 roomy bedrooms and full bath are on the 2nd floor - there are powder rooms on the main floor and in the finished basement. The 2 fireplaces were conveyed as-is in 2017; seldom used by sellers they are being listed as-is for this sale as well. The basement family room also features a built-in bar/serving area with a mid-century vibe. Check out the 3D virtual tour - you'll be glad you did.

RS-2

Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District

The primary purpose of the RS districts is to accommodate the development of detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RS zoning be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Ordinance includes three RS districts - RS2 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
