Description

"The Bear House" can't miss the wooden bear in the front yard carved out of a tree trunk! This 3-bedroom, 1.1-bath home is brimming with character and opportunity, set on an oversized lot of over a quarter acre. Hardwood floors in most rooms. The living and dining rooms feature crown molding, and the original wood staircase in the front foyer adds timeless charm. The 2-car extra deep detached garage could easily house a large workshop in the back. Key updates include a hot water heater (2016), HVAC system (2020), and roof and vinyl siding replaced within the last 10 years. Newer double-paned vinyl windows (except sunroom) add modern comfort. With solid bones the essentials are already in place, some TLC will make this home shine! Schedule your showing today! This home is an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers ready to add their personal touch, investors seeking a rental or flip, or anyone looking to build new on this oversized lot. Being sold as-is-don't miss the potential this property holds! Conveniently located near shopping, major highways, and O'Hare International Airport, this home is ideal for those seeking both charm and convenience.
