Description
Tucked away on a tree-lined street, this charming 4-bedroom, 3-bath home sits proudly on a double corner lot, offering both space and character rarely found in Forest Park. Recently refreshed from top to bottom, the home blends vintage warmth with thoughtful updates. Inside, you'll find a comfortable and versatile layout starting with a living room and sun-filled sitting area, a dining room, breakfast room, and a spacious kitchen with island that flows into the family room. From there, step out to a large 11x13 wooden deck overlooking the yard, a perfect spot for morning coffee or summer gatherings. A main-floor bedroom and full bath provide convenience for guests, a home office, or flexible living for those who prefer fewer stairs. A laundry area is conveniently located just outside the first-floor bedroom for added practicality. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom offers generous closet space, along with two additional large bedrooms and a shared hallway bath with tub and shower. The basement adds impressive versatility with a full bath featuring a tub and shower, laundry hookups, and plenty of open space for storage, a recreation or game room, or even an additional bedroom. A flood-control system keeps it dry year-round. Recent improvements include new luxury vinyl plank flooring in the family room, stairs, and entire upper level, a modern black metal stair railing, and fresh paint on ceilings, walls, doors, and trim, giving the home a clean, updated feel while preserving its charm. A two-car detached garage, newly paved three-car parking pad, and a long open yard add everyday convenience and outdoor enjoyment. Set within a welcoming pocket of Forest Park, this home offers a true sense of community and connection. Enjoy an easy location just moments from I-290 and the Harlem Blue Line, making commutes and city access effortless. Lovingly maintained and full of potential, this Forest Park residence combines comfort, character, and smart updates. A true hidden gem ready for its next chapter. Schedule your showing today-this one won't last.
