Welcome home to a beautiful, fully rehabbed home in an excellent area! Walk into an open concept floor plan featuring a combined living room and dining area that is accentuated with new luxury vinyl flooring, soothing wall colors, new trim, recessed lighting and a great vibe! The first floor is airy, open and bright; there are plenty of windows that just draw in that natural sunlight exposure and light up your home, and your heart! This intelligently designed home also opens up to a sprawling kitchen with its white shaker style kitchen cabinets, a tastefully curated quartz countertop and stainless steel appliances. There is plenty of room for a table just parrallel to the kitchen; gather around the table for that perfect meal and share a story. There is also a full bathroom on the first floor, which adds to the functionality of this home; the first floor bathroom is also dressed with a pretty bathroom vanity, a modern tub and timeless subway tiles. It is a must see! And there is even more! A rear sunroom opens up to a deck and a large yard; hang out on the deck and watch your loved ones run around amok. Then, head upstairs! The second floor features three spacious bedrooms and ample closet space. One of the three bedrooms has a bonus room tucked inside of it, and it can be utilized as a massive walk-in closet, a storage room or a little private office; the possibilities are endless. There is also a full, second floor bathroom decorated in white hues from its vanity to tiles. Lastly, the basement is unfinished and it is ready for your decorating ideas as a man cave, an exercise room, a storage facility and/or a play room. It is close to it all: schools, a shopping district on Roosevelt, sports bars, 290 and beautiful Columbus Park! It is a darling home. A 10! Easy to show.
