Property Description
For 30 years, this Georgian-style home has been the place where a family grew, memories were made, and childhood friendships began. Located directly across from Kiwanis Park, the setting became an extension of the home, giving their kids a place to meet friends, play, and simply enjoy growing up. This 2-story homes begins with an open-concept floor plan with the main level offering a dedicated Living & Dining Room area with immediate access to huge deck overlooking the fenced yard. The updated Kitchen is flooded with natural light and makes perfect for entertaining. Upgrades include Stainless Steel Appliances, Granite countertops, a breakfast bar tying in with the Dining Room and a super Garden Window that overlooks the Yard. Upstairs you'll find 3 Bedrooms that include ceiling fans and a Full bath with all ceramic tile flooring. Under all the Carpeting lies Hardwood Flooring that awaits to be finished- saving you time and money. Lastly, the basement is a great summer getaway that has ample space for a sectional, dedicated bar area with mini-fridge, custom shelving & lighting to showcase any collectibles, a 1/2 bath along with the Laundry Room (Washer, Dryer and Utility Sink). Rounding out the home is the spacious backyard with an oversized deck, Outdoor TV, and 2.5-car garage create even more room for storage, gathering, entertaining, and enjoying time together. Updated Windows, Appliances, and Garage + Roof complete the major recent improvements. Finally, the macro location is ideal; just blocks from DP River Biking Trails, minutes from Downtown Des Plaines & Metra, Foxtail Restaurant, Lake Opeka, Highways & Airport. It may not be the biggest home on the block, but it offers something that is much harder to find: a location and setting that become part of your family's story. After three decades, this home is ready for its next family to create memories of their own.
