    What's special

    This lovely brick home is situated in a great area that is just waiting for you! Really nice curb appeal and a whole lot to offer both inside and out. This cute brick Cape Cod style home has a large kitchen with tile floor and tile backsplash. All kitchen appliances remain. There is a pair of cute corner windows and also an opening into the living room giving this a nice open feel. The kitchen was recently redone and looks spectacular. Huge bright living room with oak flooring and a huge set of windows in front. There is also a formal dining room that could be an additional bedroom plus a spare bedroom on the main level. The hall bath is also very cute and has a unique tile floor. The second floor has two nice bedrooms and the one currently serving as the owner's bedroom has a really large closet area. There are also some built-in's and eave storage upstairs. The owners installed quite a bit of LVP flooring on the second floor and lower level really adding to the desirability. Very low maintenance and durable. The home has very clean look with tasteful modern colors. The finished space in the lower level will really surprise you! There is a huge family room plus an additional entertaining space with built-in bar. Lots of built-in alcoves and plenty of closet space. The basement continues with a second full bath as well as a nice laundry area. It is finished off with a cute storage room and outside exit. Like I said, a whole lot to offer. The outside is another story altogether! Really cute patio area with a covered section. This time of year is perfect to enjoy the outdoor area and entertain and relax all summer long. There is a huge yard plus a shed and an additional private deck area to chill and hang out. The property also includes a neat enclosed garden area. Very economical living with reasonable taxes and economical utilities (gas heat). The A/C was just replaced! You will love this desirable Lincoln Park home. This sale is contingent upon the sellers finding suitable housing. Definitely worth a visit!
