What the hail just happened? No worries—this one’s getting a brand new roof and siding, so you can skip the stress and enjoy the upgrade. Located on a quiet dead-end road in a desirable North Side neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers 1,608 sq. ft. of space and comfort. Inside, you’ll find a large living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room, and a kitchen with a charming breakfast nook. Plenty of storage, main-floor laundry, and not one—but TWO garages: a detached 1-car and an attached 1-car with a walkable rooftop that’s perfect for hanging out. One bedroom even features oversized space with his-and-hers closets. Big updates, great location, and a setup that just makes sense—this one’s worth a look.
