Set on a double lot in Newport Township, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch with a 2-car garage offers a great canvas for someone ready to make it their own and build value over time. A number of key updates are already in place, providing a strong starting point for your vision. Major improvements include a 100-amp electrical panel (2017), architectural-shingle roof (2015), furnace and water heater (2017). A full basement adds flexibility and storage, with even more space in the backyard shed. Conveniently located near I-94 and Hwy 31, commuting is straightforward-while nearby natural escapes like the Des Plaines River Trail & Greenway and Van Patten Woods make it easy to enjoy miles of trails, woods, and fresh air close to home.
