Homes like this don't come along often in Oak Forest! Lovingly maintained by its original owner, this home offers something that's becoming harder to find: an established neighborhood, room to spread out, and a backyard with a view that won't disappear behind future development. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout, while a thoughtfully converted garage adds a spacious, versatile family room that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or whatever fits your lifestyle. Step outside to enjoy the covered sunroom overlooking a fenced backyard, with wide-open space beyond the property thanks to a utility easement. Recent improvements include a brand-new AC (2026), freshly painted front porch, and refreshed landscaping that adds to the home's curb appeal. Located in one of Oak Forest's most sought-after neighborhoods and zoned to A-rated elementary, middle, and high schools, this is a rare opportunity to make a well-loved, one-owner home your own!
