Style meets sophistication in this wonderfully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home in the heart of Calumet Park close to shopping and expressways. Newly varnished hardwood floors add warmth and charm the moment you step inside. The brand-new kitchen shines with sleek stainless-steel appliances, elegant gray cabinetry with gold hardware, granite countertops, and a stylish subway tile backsplash that ties it all together. Two main-level bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, work-from-home setups, or playrooms, while two more upstairs feature easy-care luxury vinyl flooring. The finished basement is a blank canvas, ready for your creative touch. Major updates include a newer roof, water heater, and electrical panel-all just one year old-plus interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors for added peace of mind. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard perfect for entertaining and a 1-2 car detached garage with a brand-new door. Freshly painted throughout with crisp white trim and standout curb appeal, this home has the right updates, plenty of space, and is offered at a terrific value.
