NO SHOWINGS WHILE UNDER CONTRACT. Welcome to this inviting suburban LaGrange Park neighborhood offering TWO Metra stops! A commuter's dream just minutes from downtown while still offering the quiet neighborhood feel of the suburbs. Beautiful curb appeal with a fresh front brick planting bed and new plantings in 2022. Inside you will fall in love with this tastefully updated home featuring refinished hardwood floors throughout the first floor leading to two nice sized bedrooms and a newly remodeled full bath including tile flooring, a quartz counter vanity and more! On the main level you will also enjoy an entry closet, a large living room which is open to the full-sized dining room. Just off the dining room is a fully applianced kitchen with a new quiet Bosch dishwasher and a custom-made storage/mudroom bench with extra cabinets and counter space all added in 2023, a new refrigerator in 2020 and easy outside access. The amazing outdoor living space offers a 2018 brick paver patio, a large yard with a wooden playset that has been sealed annually, a stunning gazebo and a 2 car detached garage! Host the best backyard barbeque or a quiet evening for two in the very large gazebo boasting a decorative wood ceiling with a ceiling fan and festive margarita lights! Double your living space with the finished basement which includes a large family room, an office, a storage room, a laundry room with a new washer and dryer in 2022, and another office/workshop! The detachable basement staircase has been designed to come apart very easily to accommodate moving furniture in and out of the basement. Don't miss the extra full shower in the basement - a common design in the 1950's - just add a toilet and sink for another full bath! The electrical panel was upgraded in 2016, new A/C and Nest thermostat in 2017, and a new furnace in 2020! The A/C and furnace have been regularly maintained, checked and cleaned annually. The screens for the gazebo windows are stored in the garage, the Ring doorbell conveys with the home, and all double glass windows have neutral blinds, are easily pulled inside for convenient cleaning, and all have safety stops for young children and pets. In November of 2024, US News and World Report ranked all D102 elementary schools in the top elementary schools, earning them Best Elementary School designation! In October of 2024, LTHS achieved an Exemplary rating in the Illinois School Report Card, which is the highest rating a school can achieve. The neighborhood and location are truly prime - just minutes to 2 Metra stations, nearby parks, and excellent restaurants and shopping!
