About This Home

Charming 2 bed two-level townhome in desirable Forest Park! This all-brick home features hardwood floors, fresh neutral paint, and natural light throughout. Gut rehab completed in 2018. Work included all new electrical, plumbing, the kitchen, the bathroom, lighting throughout, refinishing of hardwood floors, and epoxy finish in basement. The main level features a spacious living room, separate dining room, and updated kitchen. The kitchen has custom white cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an exit to the backyard. The second level features a massive primary suite with a walk-in closet, the second bedroom, and full bathroom. The lower level features the washer/dryer, ample storage, and has an exit to the backyard. The side to the west can be used as a family room, workout area, or you can easily add a 3rd bedroom - it's an open canvas ready for your ideas! Step outside to your private, fenced in backyard - an ideal space for barbecues and morning coffee. 2 exterior parking spaces included. No association means no monthly HOAs! Enjoy living within blocks of both downtown Forest Park and Oak Park! Jewel, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Target are all nearby. The new Aldi is also coming soon directly behind the townhome! Ideal location for commuters with close proximity to the Metra, green & blue lines, and I-290!
