Property Description
This exceptional, move-in-ready solid-brick ranch sits on an extra-wide 35-foot lot in the sought-after Lincoln Square/Budlong Woods neighborhood. Beautifully rehabbed and thoughtfully updated, this home combines classic brick construction with high-end finishes, modern improvements, and an abundance of storage. Brand-new windows installed in 2026 bring in tons of natural light throughout the home, while hardwood floors run throughout the main level and modern luxury vinyl flooring adds durability and style to the lower level. The home has also been freshly painted throughout, creating a bright, clean, move-in-ready feel. The high-end kitchen features an abundance of cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end appliances, a wine fridge, pot filler, and oversized farm sink. The bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled with quality finishes, including a brand-new full bathroom in the lower level. Custom blinds throughout add a polished finishing touch. The lower level has been recently finished, offering a spacious family room and additional flexible living space for relaxing, entertaining, working, or enjoying family time. Custom built-in storage and desks make the lower level both beautiful and incredibly functional, with excellent additional storage throughout the home. Outside, the wide 35-foot lot truly shines, featuring a spacious fenced backyard, newly installed concrete patio (2026), modern maintenance-free pergola, and 2-car garage. It's an inviting setting for outdoor entertaining, relaxing, and gatherings. A new water heater was installed in 2025. Ideally located within walking distance of grocery stores, parks, and bike trails, with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, shopping, and the Kennedy Expressway. This beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated home offers incredible storage, quality finishes, and wonderful living space both inside and out. Shows like a model!
