Room to breathe in the heart of Des Plaines! 490 Lyman Avenue sits on a rare, nearly one-acre lot, the kind of space that's almost impossible to find this close to the city. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers about 2,000 square feet of comfortable living. The first-floor primary suite gives you easy, private living. Upstairs, a spacious family room with a fireplace and bar is made for game nights, movie marathons, and entertaining year-round. Step outside and the property really shines. You can unwind in the hot tub after a long day, grow your own vegetables and flowers in the greenhouse, and enjoy a huge yard with room for gardening, play, or future expansion. A 2-car garage adds convenience and storage. It's close to Central Road and Harrison Street, with easy access to shopping, parks, I-294, the Des Plaines Metra and O'Hare. Homes with this much land rarely come along, so schedule your showing today. Property being sold AS IS
