A 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom ranch that has been well maintained and cared for by its owner over the years. Pride of ownership shows throughout the home, from a clean and solid feel in every room to the overall condition of the property inside and out. Built in 1953, this 1,000 square foot ranch offers a comfortable, single level layout that has long been a popular style for buyers in Park Forest. The home sits on a quiet street in a neighborhood known for its mature trees, walkable blocks, and long time residents who take care of their properties. Homes like this one, that have been consistently maintained rather than flipped or rushed to market, are becoming harder to find. It offers a buyer the chance to move into a place that has clearly been someone's home rather than a house that sat vacant or neglected. Whether you are a first time buyer, downsizing, or looking for a solid property in a stable Park Forest neighborhood, 243 Tampa St is worth a look.
