This inviting 3-bed single-family in Forest Glen is full of warmth, light, and unexpectedly generous space. Set on a quiet residential block, 4823 W Balmoral offers a thoughtful floor plan with character-rich details that make it feel instantly like home. Step inside and find a cozy living room where a wood-burning fireplace sets the scene for snowy days and quiet evenings. The formal dining room, complete with custom built-ins, is ready to host holidays and everyday meals alike. A rear addition expands the home beautifully, featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and an open flow ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The family room centers around a second fireplace-this one gas-while the custom kitchen blends style, function, and quality with high-end appliances and a charming breakfast nook. From here, step out to a spacious back deck, perfect for morning coffee or sunset unwinding. Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and a full bath. A main-level powder room adds everyday convenience. The home is being sold as-is, offering the chance to personalize while starting with solid features and thoughtful updates. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard, detached 2-car garage, and one of Forest Glen's most walkable pockets-close to shopping, Metra, I-90/94, Blue Line, and the forest preserve's bike and walking trails. Comfortable, functional, and full of light, this Forest Glen gem is ready to welcome its next chapter.
