Description

Seller has accepted an offer! Incredible opportunity to own this 3 story home + 4 car garage with living space above! Beautiful foyer with wood staircase and closet greets you and hardwood floors carry through the first floor and most of the 2nd level. The open floor plan is ideal for family living and entertaining. It offers a front living room, formal dining space, and family room with gas starter/wood burning fireplace. Spacious kitchen has plenty of cabinets, room for table or island, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. First floor full bath sits off of the kitchen and 2nd back staircase. 2nd floor offers 3 bedrooms with newly installed hardwood floors and large walk in 2nd floor laundry room with windows, cabinets and folding counter. Laundry is finally a Joy! Large full bath finishes off the 2nd level. 3rd level has many possibilities. A 4th bedroom, an owner's suite down the road, additional family room/rec room space, or a home office. Finished basement could be an amazing game or play room! Sump pump, ejector pump, drain tiles, and new plumbing to the street already added for your peace of mind. 1/2 bath finishes off this 4th level of living space. Back on the first floor, the kitchen leads out to an enormous, wrap around covered deck. Never cancel a party here! Rain or shine. Plenty of side yard green space too! The 4 car garage is the piece de resistance! 3 open stalls are perfect for cars/vehicle storage, and the 4th stall is completely separate. This space could be additional personal storage, 4th parking space or rented out for additional monthly income. 2nd floor of garage was used as large workshop and offers a large main living room, a full bathroom, and 2 separate rooms that could be bedrooms. Think in-law arrangement, workshop or home office. Just add a kitchenette and tie off of the existing plumbing and you have another complete living space! The coach house has central heat and A/C! The home is incredibly functional and has been meticulously maintained and updated over the years. Newer, quality windows and newer siding (2008) keep this home well insulated. Owners have only ever needed 3 window/wall A/C units to keep the home cool in the summer. Don't miss this amazing location in desirable downtown Forest Park! Walk to Madison Ave, downtown Oak Park, Metra, green line, or blue line!
