    What's special

    Single-level livingGenerous yardFull basement
    Welcome home to this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath ranch offering comfortable single-level living in an unbeatable location. Hardwood flooring can be found in two bedrooms, with additional hardwood floors believed to be beneath the carpet in the spacious living room, providing an exciting opportunity to enhance the home's character. The functional floor plan offers comfortable living spaces, while the full basement provides endless possibilities for future expansion, recreation, a home office, workshop, or additional storage. The city has recently replaced the main water line to the home, and best of all, there is no Special Service Area (SSA) or additional assessment associated with this improvement. Outside, enjoy a generous yard and a detached 2-car garage, offering plenty of room for outdoor activities, gardening, or entertaining. Ideally located just minutes from I-290, this home provides convenient access to downtown Chicago, as well as the shopping, dining, and entertainment options found throughout Oak Brook and the Yorktown area. Whether you're looking for a home to move right into or one where you can add your own personal style over time, this Westchester ranch offers exceptional potential in a highly sought-after location.
