Property Description

Welcome to 5241 S Melvina, a beautifully updated 2-story brick home in the heart of Garfield Ridge that truly has it all-space, style, and an ideal location. Thoughtfully rehabbed in 2018, this home features an inviting open-concept main level with brand new hardwood floors flowing through the sun-filled living and dining areas into a stunning chef's kitchen with white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a great layout for everyday living and entertaining. A striking main-level full bath with marble flooring adds a touch of luxury. The second level offers two comfortable bedrooms and another full bath, while the fully finished basement provides incredible additional living space with a large family room, wet bar, extra bedroom, full bathroom, and separate laundry room-perfect for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. Recessed lighting throughout enhances the modern feel, and the outdoor space is equally impressive with a new pergola, new privacy fence, and a 2-car garage. All of this in a prime Garfield Ridge location, just a short walk to schools, parks, and public transportation, and minutes to I-55 and Midway Airport.
