Property Description
Welcome to this updated Cape Cod home in unincorporated Alsip, located in the Garden Homes area of Cook County. Set on a large 9,000 sq ft. lot w/ low annual taxes, a detached 2.5-car garage, and a full basement, this home offers a strong combination of value, space, parking, and outdoor flexibility. The curb appeal makes a strong first impression with mature arborvitaes framing the front entry, freshly mulched landscaping beds, and an inviting exterior. Inside, the main level features refinished dark hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a comfortable living room with great natural flow. An arched doorway leads into the dining area, where bold dark wainscoting adds character, warmth, and a custom feel that helps the space stand apart. The kitchen has been fully updated with two-tone shaker cabinetry, white upper cabinets, gray lower cabinets, quartz countertops, a gray glass subway tile backsplash, an undermount stainless steel sink, gas range, and tile flooring. The layout is clean, practical, and move-in ready, with modern finishes that make everyday living easy.

Both upper-level spaces feature new gray carpet, and built-in shelving and wardrobe storage. This upper level gives the home valuable versatility for a home office, guest space, media area, playroom, creative studio, or additional sleeping space. The full basement adds another layer of function and future potential.

The other side provides laundry and utility space with washer/dryer hookups, a utility sink, open joists, mechanical access, and storage. Out back, the large fenced yard is one of the property's biggest advantages.
