Charming all-brick Georgian on picturesque Newton Avenue in Park Ridge, offering 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. This home has such a warm, inviting feel and has been thoughtfully updated over the past few years, including many of the major components, so you can move in with confidence. Inside, you'll find beautiful crown molding and hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels. The updated kitchen is bright and welcoming, featuring stainless steel appliances (2017), soft-close cabinetry, a handmade ceramic subway tile backsplash, garbage disposal, and a spacious breakfast bar with Caesarstone quartz countertops-perfect for morning coffee or casual meals with friends. Head upstairs via the walnut staircase to two sun-filled bedrooms that feel peaceful and cozy. The finished basement adds great extra living space, complete with a full en-suite bathroom (2022) and new carpet (2022) on both the stairs and in the recreation room, making it deal for guests, a home office, or movie nights. The combined laundry/utility room offers plenty of storage, too. Out back, the yard is ready for summer, whether you're grilling, gardening, or just relaxing. The oversized 24x24 detached garage (built in 2021) has the electrical capacity for an EV charger and a gas line ready for a future heater. All of this in a super convenient location near the CTA Blue Line and expressway access, making commuting a breeze. A truly lovely home that blends character, updates, and everyday comfort.
