Property Description
This home has been completely redone. Brand-new kitchen with stainless steel appliances, bar to sit at, and lovely built-ins. Updates include 2 new bathrooms, an all-new brick paver driveway that accommodates 9 cars, the entire interior and exterior have been painted, new gutter guards, gorgeous new landscaping, all-new copper plumbing, light fixtures throughout, new electric, new vaulted ceilings as well as new sump pump. Hardwood floors are maple and oak and have been refinished. The stairs have been refurbished with new railings, plus beautiful fireplace has been converted to gas located in living room. Too much to write here (check uploaded amenities list), but this adorable move-in-ready home is in the heart of Ravinia. You couldn't ask for a better location. Literally steps from the Metra, Ravinia Festival, Lake Michigan, parks, bike path, and so much more. There are two bedrooms on the 2nd level and one bedroom and a full bath on the first floor. The 2nd bedroom on main level has been converted into an office but still has the closet and can be converted back to a 4th bedroom. The lower level is dry and ready to be finished. You couldn't ask for a more charming backyard with a brick paver patio and room to play. Best part of this fabulous property is that it can live like a ranch! Beyond charming. Nothing to do but unpack and start enjoying your new home!
