About This Home

Incredible location alert! Just a few blocks from the Metra and nestled in one of the most vibrant, walkable neighborhoods around, this 3bedroom charmer is bursting with personality. Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors and a warm, inviting layout that suits both everyday living and entertaining. The finished basement adds a huge bonus - perfect for movie nights, a home gym, hobby space, or all of the above. You'll also appreciate the full bath and abundant storage. And yes...the pingpong table stays! Major mechanicals are already taken care of with a newer furnace and AC (2021). Families will love the highly rated schools: Cumberland Elementary, Chippewa Middle, and Maine West High. Come experience it in person. Your next home is waiting!
