About this home

Welcome to this beautiful split level home located in a great neighborhood and school district. Enjoy an open layout with cathedral ceilings and skylights for plenty of natural light. Remodeled kitchen with granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and huge breakfast island is perfect for entertaining a big family or guests. Spacious family room with a brick wood burning fireplace and sliding door to a patio. Upstairs features 3 large bedrooms with plenty of closets and a new bathroom with a double sink and an extra washer/dryer set. Full finished basement with additional kitchen, laundry room, powder room, bar, office, and a fourth bedroom offers great in-law arrangement or just some privacy. House has hardwood floors and 2 separate hvac systems. The garage and driveway were finished with an epoxy floor in 2019, and the driveway had recently installed in-ground lights. The roof, siding, and gutters are 2 years old (gutters are all connected to an underground pipe system which protects against floods). A wooden deck off the kitchen leads to a wonderful backyard with a pool, patio and your own private garden. Enjoy cherry trees and berry bushes. Nice location, close to schools, shopping, restaurants , Metra and highways. Only 45 minutes drive to downtown Chicago.
