The eat-in kitchen offers 42" upper cabinets, stainless steel appliances, a large window overlooking the street, and new built-ins that add both storage and functionality. At the back of the home are two spacious bedrooms with new corner windows that fill the rooms with natural light. The full bathroom was recently remodeled with new tile flooring, vertical shower tile, a marble-topped vanity, toilet, storage cabinet and elegant gold accents, creating a polished, designer-style retreat. The recently finished basement doubles your living space with new LVP flooring, updated electric, and recessed lighting. Enjoy a large family room and play area, a separate office currently used as a 3rd bedroom, a workout/furnace room, and a dedicated laundry and storage room, with room to add a second full bath in the future if desired. Enjoy peace of mind with a brand-new Lennox furnace and air conditioner. Outside, the impressive 178-foot-deep lot offers abundant green space and a new paver patio. The garage and newly poured parking pad allow for two off-street parking spaces. Located in the highly regarded River Forest School District 90 and OPRF High School District 200, this home also offers excellent commuter access to the River Forest Metra and the Forest Park Blue Line.
