This sprawling, center entry colonial is your opportunity to own a wonderful home in Park Ridge. Owned by only one family, at 3,132 square feet (not including the basement) the rooms are large and welcoming and the floor plan flows beautifully. The entry is open and grand with a beautiful curved staircase. There is hardwood flooring throughout most of the home. The sun-filled kitchen has plenty of cabinet and closet space, stainless steel appliances, plus room for a good sized table. The main suite is enormous, with a private shower, toilet and vanity. There is a walk-in closet in the main bedroom plus two additional closets! There are three more bedrooms upstairs and one on the first floor. The first floor bedroom could also make an amazing office. The laundry room is on the first floor and the basement is full (plus a crawl space). The backyard is large, fenced and has a brick patio and the 2 car garage has extra depth for additional storage. Unbeatable location, walking distance to three parks and the elementary school, in a fantastic district.
