Irresistible, easy to maintain home on a CORNER lot a block away from larger, much more expensive houses in beautiful Highland Park. Great shopping within biking distance. Move in ready! Fireplace, laundry, and mud room. The owner upgraded the home significantly since moving in. The landscaping alone represents a $50,000 investment and designed to bloom beautifully in spring through fall creating a peaceful sanctuary to enjoy. It even has an underground sprinkler system making maintaining a gorgeous outdoor space nearly effort free. The yard is fenced in....perfect if you have pets. The garage was converted into a writing studio by the owner but could easily be an additional guest room with only a slight modification or an office with it's own private entrance. Space for 2 cars to park on the concrete pad. Rooms are generous sizes as was typical of homes built during this time in the 1950s. 2 of the bedrooms have a wonderful corner window configuration. Beautiful rich, dark hardwood floors, recessed lighting, upgraded kitchen and bathrooms. Convenient to shopping, great schools and entertainment. This home is perfect for a work from home person who wants to escape from the rigors of the city, a first time buyer, a family with a child or couple. The neighborhood is well established and settled. Come see for yourself the delights of this lovely place. Have your city friends out for a barbecue and a night at Ravinia.
