The apartment is a unique and charming second floor unit in a classic family-owned two flat in Forest Park, IL a peaceful, tree-lined suburb just west of Chicago with excellent access to the Loop via the Green Line, Metra, and major highways. This bright, freshly updated 1-bedroom features a spacious main bedroom with ample natural light from large windows, high ceilings with a sloped attic-style roofline for that cozy old-house feel, and dark hardwood floors throughout. A versatile bonus room (currently set up as an extra living/sleeping space) offers flexibility perfect as a home office, den, nursery, or even a second bedroom for guests or roommates. The kitchen is modern and functional with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (including gas stove, dishwasher, fridge, and microwave), a deep farmhouse sink, and open shelving for extra storage. The full bathroom includes a walk-in shower, vanity with storage, and good lighting. Laundry (washer/dryer) is conveniently located in unit. Additional highlights: * One off-street parking space in the rear * Radiator heat (efficient and reliable in Chicago winters) * Recessed lighting and ceiling fans for comfort * Plenty of closet space * Shared oversized yard rare in the area with room for grilling or relaxing outdoors This is an older home with character: sloped ceilings add charm (great headroom in most areas), but note the attic-level layout means some angled walls and cozy vibes. Ideal for a single professional, couple, or someone seeking more space and privacy than a typical apartment without the full house price. Quiet neighborhood, close to parks, shops, restaurants, and the vibrant downtown Forest Park scene. Asking rent: $1,550/month (based on current Forest Park market data for 1-bed units averaging $1,350 $1,450, adjusted upward for the bonus room/extra space, in-unit laundry, yard access, recent updates, and single-family home feel over standard multi-unit buildings).
