This 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath picturesque charmer with enviable 2.5 car garage enjoys a PRIME and sought after location right around the corner from Highland Park's FUN downtown RAVINIA!!! Truly a commuter's dream come true--imagine being just 2 blocks from the train--but also so close to mouthwatering restaurants, trendy shops, parks (with weekly summertime live music and food trucks) and only a short bike ride to the sparkling beaches of Lake Michigan, the famed outdoor Ravina Festival, Chicago's Botanic Gardens and numerous nature-filled bike trails-it just doesn't get any better! Head-turning curb appeal is evident the moment you see this home-attractive peaked rooflines, a pretty brick walkway and eye-catching Lannon stone raised gardens create the first glimpse of wonderful things to come. Step inside to see hardwood floors throughout and into the light-filled living/family room with inviting wood burning fireplace and oversized windows overlooking the pretty tree-lined street. The formal dining room, large enough for large or small parties alike, is right off the updated kitchen featuring newer, creamy-glazed cabinetry, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. There are 3 bedrooms and 1.5 updated baths on the 1st and 2nd levels and there is a convenient main floor office on the main level. The finished lower level boasts a large recreation room as well as a 2nd office, playroom or 4th bedroom, if needed. A private brick patio will surely provide a perfect place to entertain, and the corner backyard grounds are almost completely enclosed by mature bushes with ample space to play volleyball and more and even has a dog run for Fido. The oversized 2.5 car garage has a wall filled with handy storage shelving with plenty of extra room for the bikes, strollers and work area as well; more storage can be had in the large attic located on the 2nd floor. The incoming water line was recently voluntarily replaced (original pipes removed) in 2026 through the village of Highland Park. Other updates include: new ('24) washer and ('22) dryer, new ('24) hot water heater, new ('25) sump pump and ('25 battery) and, per previous owner, new ('13) furnace, ('11) central air conditioning and ('15) roof.
