Property Description
THIS LOCATION CAN'T BE BEAT! 3 large bedrooms, with 2 full bath ALL BRICK ranch located in the desirable Norwood Park neighborhood. Cul-de-sac living right in the heart of the Northwest Side. Your backyard will feel like an escape from city living. You won't feel like you can see inside your neighbor's house on this one. Built in 1955 you will enjoy some of the mid-century touches that this home has kept well preserved. OVER 1300 sq ft of finished living space on main level plus a full high basement ready for your finishing touches. Sellers believe there is hardwood under the carpet in the living room and bedrooms! It looks to be in great condition. This home blends classic charm with smart functionality. Main level features large living room with wood burning fireplace, formal dining room, big kitchen with plenty of cabinets and counters plus room for a dining table. Currently there are 2 bedrooms plus a den that can easily be the 3rd bedroom with minimal change as it already has a closet. Most models of this home already have that room as the 3rd bedroom. Full high basement where owners added another bedroom and bath but loads of potential to add living space in the future. The location offers easy access to downtown and O'Hare. Commuters will appreciate proximity to Metra's Norwood Park station, with regular service into downtown Chicago. Public transit options and CTA bus lines also run through the neighborhood, making daily travel more convenient. Live close to schools and local parks, while benefiting from the quiet residential feel and convenient daily city amenities. Home is definitely livable with good bones and mid-century decor as is or ready for updating to your liking. Property is part of an estate and being sold "as is" condition. Buyer to accept property with any personal property including furniture they prefer to leave included in the sale. Buyer responsible to remove. Copy of tax bill under additional remarks. Please be patient when submitting offers and closing as there may be time needed to clear title of estate. Any questions, concerns or offers please communicate through Norbert Mika not Matthew Mika.
