Small back yard is well screened from nearby homes by a plethora of greenery but is very shady as a result. Beautiful hardwood throughout.

Welcome home to one of Arlington Heights’ most desirable neighborhoods and this inviting Colonial, a true gem with superior walkability to many amenities including the Peirce ES, bike path, bus routes, shopping/dining, playgrounds, the ice rink, Arlington Reservoir, and more. The current owner, an architect, fell in love with and purchased this charming home in 2020 with the intention of updating it before moving in. Plans changed and a rare opportunity is now available to the next individual or family who will cherish this beloved home in the same way as the current owner. Most of the work has already been completed but the home is being sold 'as is' with some left for the new owners. The bathroom is one of the most urgent pieces of the project remaining to make the home ‘move-in ready’ and is currently left as a blank canvas for you to bring your design ideas to life. This home will not qualify for conventional financing due to the already plumbed bath in need of a full installation
