Off the kitchen is a short stairway that leads down to the finished basement which features a family/theatre room, office nook, laundry room, and deep closets for extra storage. Spend warm summer nights out on the deck and host parties in your huge fenced-in yard. The amount of updates the sellers made since 2020 is too long to list but includes: New code compliant sewer cleanout, new gutters with leaf guards and downspouts, new concrete poured between neighbors to the south to steer water away from homes to the street, new electrical panel rewired to code, front and back landscaping, and more! Just beyond the house is your access to nature within the city, featuring paved paths through Caldwell Woods and North Branch of the Chicago River. Just two blocks to tee-time at Edgebrook Golf Course. Close to Edgebrook Metra (Milwaukee District North), Gladstone Park Metra (Union Pacific Northwest). Enjoy dining out at nearby Chicago classics like Superdawg Drive-In, Gale Street Inn, and Barnaby's Pizza. Very quick drive to O'hare Airport. All your favorite grocers are nearby like Trader Joes, Marianos, Fresh Farms, Whole Foods with Costco and Target just up the road in Niles. Come see what this hidden gem in the city has to offer!
