Ideal layout for entertaining, indoor space moves effortlessly into the outside or basement, keeping the bedrooms private. Backyard is completely fenced, with a gate across the driveway, that still allows for two cars to be parked in in the driveway with the gate closed. Walk to elementary school, neighborhood pool, Dee Rd Metra Station (.9m), uptown Park Ridge (1.4m). Thoughtfully updated over time, as owners had no intention of moving. Fourth bedroom or office in the basement, is primed for an egress window. Basement great for hosting or relaxing and boasts a beautiful kitchenette, gas hook up for stove installed but not hooked up currently. There is a whole house filtration system, sump pump with battery back up, raised bed gardens behind the garage and hardwood floors throughout. The garage is being conveyed "as is."
