This house gives you so much inside, outside as well as its central location and zoning to Oak Forest Elementary and Black Middle School. The mid-century design greets you with the custom front door and period landscaping and continues with the terrazzo kitchen floors and hallway phone nook. Free flowing design from living dining combo to the spacious kitchen and bright sunroom. Mid-century modern inspired vanity was added to the bathroom in 2011. Flagstone patio flows to the backyard. Multi-directional shades added to living spaces including living room, dining room and sunroom. ½ bath and utility room, with tons of storage, conveniently located just off the sunroom. Great updates behind the scenes too: PEX plumbing lines replaced the old cast iron in the walls and new PVC to the city line; tankless water heater; furnace. Oak Forest, known for its fun community events, lots of parks, nearby bike trails, dog park and myriad of eating and entertaining options.
