You'll also find a generous storage closet, a utility room with sink, hookups for a washer & dryer (to be installed by the buyer), and extensive shelving for all your storage needs. Key mechanical updates include a furnace (2013), sump pump and battery backup system (approx. 5 years old). Just three houses from the bus stop at Dempster & Olcott and under two miles to the Morton Grove Metra station. Convenient access to I-94 and I-294. Nearby amenities include Oak Park playground (tennis courts, basketball court, and baseball field), and close to many dining and shopping options.
