Tucked into the sought-after Southwest Woods of Park Ridge, this charming, 1954 mid-century split level home was lovingly cared for by the same family for 50 years and is ready to welcome its next chapter. Enter off a quiet stretch of Glenlake Ave into a light filled living room and dining room, where soaring vaulted ceilings set an airy, welcoming tone the moment you step inside. Hardwood floors run beneath the carpet on both the first and second floors, a peek in the closets show you what's waiting to be uncovered. The kitchen offers space to gather around a table, with endless potential to add your own finishes or open the layout up to the living and dining room for easy everyday living. Just off the kitchen, a sunroom bridges indoor and outdoor life, leading out to the fenced in backyard on one side and the 2 car attached garage on the other. Upstairs, 3 good sized bedrooms and a neutral, well maintained full bathroom offer comfortable space to unwind. The lower level adds a bright family room, a second full bathroom, and a laundry room for everyday flexibility. Outside, the corner lot creates a spacious, fenced in backyard made for relaxing or entertaining, and a new cedar fence opens to a full driveway with room to park a boat or RV under 32 feet. All of this just a block from Southwest Park, and close to Mariano's, the expressway, the Blue Line Cumberland stop, and the Washington, Lincoln, and Maine South school district. This home is located in an easy, connected setting for whatever your next chapter looks like.
