Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level offers added flexibility with a cozy family room featuring terrazzo flooring, a quartz stone fireplace, a bathroom with shower, and patio doors leading to the backyard. Just a half flight down, the basement provides additional living space that can serve as a recreation room, fourth bedroom, home office, or guest area, along with another full bath. Situated on a nicely sized lot with an attached garage, the backyard includes a framed garden bed ready for this year's planting and arbors to hold your vines. Conveniently located near parks, schools, shopping, dining, expressways, and O'Hare International Airport. Property is being sold as-is.
