An amazing reconfiguration of this 'Highlands' ranch has transformed the space into an exciting place for entertaining, relaxing, working, and playing. The open living room, dining room, and kitchen present a loft-like style and layout. The exposed brick chimney, all brand-new windows, refinished hardwood floors, new lighting, and staircase millwork enhance the overall appeal. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, newer cabinetry, and granite counters. You will love the ability to see the front yard and the expansive rear yard from the kitchen. The open staircase leads to a newly finished, basement rec room. There is a tidy master bath and a cheerful, double-vanity, hall bathroom. All of the bedroom closets are organized. The main rooms overlook the massive back yard and a brick patio. And wait. .. there's more: brand-new furnace and A/C, newer electric panel, new yard shed, attached two-car garage & more. Super close to Ft. Sheridan Metra train and 472 Bus.
Open concept home with a two car garage that does not have interior access. Updated kitchen and finished basement. Bedrooms are moderately sized.
