Property Description
Welcome to this delightful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick ranch nestled on a serene, tree-lined street in a peaceful neighborhood. With timeless charm, practical space, and unbeatable convenience, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort and opportunity. Step into a bright and inviting living and dining room combination, where oversized windows on two walls fill the space with natural light and frame views of mature trees. The eat-in kitchen connects seamlessly to both the living and dining areas, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Beneath the existing carpet (recently steam cleaned), you'll find original hardwood floors in the living room, dining room, and all three bedrooms-just waiting to be uncovered and restored to their former beauty. Convenient laundry chute in hallway closet. Downstairs, a partially finished basement expands your living space with a large recreation room, a dry bar, and a full bathroom-perfect for family gatherings. You'll also find a generous storage closet, a utility room with sink and washer/dryer hookup, and extensive shelving for all your storage needs. Key mechanical updates include the furnace (2013), sump pump (approx. 5 years old), and a 2-year-old battery backup system. Outside, enjoy the shaded, fenced-in backyard with mature trees - an ideal setting for outdoor relaxation and gatherings. The detached 2-car garage is set back from the home, offering a long driveway with ample parking. Location is everything, and this home delivers. Just three houses from the bus stop at Dempster & Olcott and under two miles to the Morton Grove Metra station, your commute is a breeze. Enjoy quick access to I-94 and I-294, and take advantage of nearby amenities like Oak Park playground (just a short stroll away), featuring tennis courts, a basketball court, and a baseball field. You're also close to Golf Mill Shopping Center, AMC Niles 12, and a variety of restaurants. For summer fun, the Niles Park District Oasis Waterpark is only 5 minutes away, and Mystic Waters Family Aquatic Center-with waterslides and a lazy river-is just 9 minutes down Dempster. This mid-century gem is being sold AS-IS as part of an estate sale - an incredible opportunity to add your personal touch and make it your own!
