This home offers a blend of a timeless layout, thoughtful updates within the 3 levels of living spaces. Enjoy real hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels, and a bright, open living room with vaulted ceilings and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light.

The generous backyard offers plenty of space for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Convenient access to the Kennedy Expressway and O'Hare Airport makes commuting a breeze, and it's a 2-mile commute to two of the METRA train stops.
