Bought with Aaron Masliansky• Dream Town Real Estate
Victorian Cottage from 1905. OK condition with a nice kitchen & baths. Floorplan has been opened out creating some nice space on the 1st floor. At some point in the recent past a FR addition was made off the back. BR's are a bit tight. Mix of old and...
new mechanicals. Livable now but most will want to make significant changes - not crazy if you like the kitchen. Deep lot with good sized yard. Garage is in rough shape but will keep snow off your vehicle. On busy Illinois one home off busier Lake and right next to a fire station so noise could be an issue. Easy walk to Highcrest Middle School & Centennial Pool/Ice/Tennis
