Experience the best of both suburban and city living with this charming three-bedroom, two-bath brick English home. Love a big yard? This one has it, along with a brand-new fence for added privacy and style. Plus, you'll be just steps away from fantastic restaurants, bars, independent shops, and the convenience of the CTA Blue Line. Need quick highway access? You're only 15 minutes from downtown (in theory!). Nestled in the vibrant heart of Forest Park, this light-filled home sits on a spacious 36x125 corner lot, just a short stroll from the lively Madison Avenue and the Harlem Blue Line stop. The open and flexible layout of the first floor features a bright living and dining room combo with hardwood floors, a well-sized bedroom, a full bath, and a modern kitchen with a large adjacent eating area. Upstairs, the expansive primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, an updated bath, and a third bedroom with a versatile loft-like space between. The spacious basement provides the perfect opportunity for finishing and customizing to fit your needs. Outside, you'll find an oversized 2.5-car garage, patio area, and a large yard ideal for gardening, pets, kids, or hosting epic barbecues. Plus, if that isn't enough green space, there's a playlot just across the street and Forest Park's well-equipped Park District (complete with a Waterpark, Rec Center, Skate park, Ice rink, and Tennis courts) just a short walk away.
