Property Description
Set in the heart of Clearing, this brick ranch blends classic layout with smart updates and flexible living spaces. Walk in and you'll immediately notice the skylights in both the living room and kitchen brighten the hardwood floored main level. The open kitchen features stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, and easy flow to the living area; ideal for everyday living. The downstairs is sure to impress: you get a full finished basement with 950 additional square feet. A vast rec room (1438) offers space for media, play, or a home gym, alongside a remodeled full bath and a dedicated laundry room with a sink. Heading outside, you'll enjoy two patios (one adjacent to the house + one covered off the garage) and a two-car detached garage. The lot offers a manageable yard for easy upkeep. The property sits on S Menard, adding a slight buffer from through traffic. Location is key here! Just minutes to Midway Airport and the CTA Orange Line, plus easy access to I55 / I294 corridors.
