Larger than it looks! This one-of-a-kind expanded home has been updated from top to bottom by Normandy Remodeling with beautiful high-end finishes and hardwood flooring throughout. The new white kitchen is open to the family room which has a cozy fireplace and built-ins. The kitchen has a large island, stainless steel appliances plus a huge walk-in pantry! There is a mudroom off the kitchen and a nice eating area with access to the back brick paver patio and built-in fire pit. There are 4 bedrooms all on upper levels including a new master suite and another en-suite bedroom. The newly updated English lower level has a rec room, half bathroom & laundry area. Truly excellent condition inside & out and the location can't be beat! Great storage & updated mechanicals. The home backs up to Laidlaw park/tennis courts and is a 1/2 block to Laidlaw Elementary. Just 6 blocks to to town, it's walking distance to all amenities Western Springs has to offer! Close-knit block, too!
