One of Oriole Park's Finest Cape Cods! Meticulously maintained and beautifully updated, this exceptional corner-lot home combines timeless charm with thoughtful modern improvements inside and out. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the professionally designed entryway by Air Room featuring stunning wood arch details and posts, along with new concrete stairs and stoop. The front and side yards have been professionally landscaped by Lurvey's, creating incredible curb appeal. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a warm and inviting layout with refinished hardwood floors, crown molding, new baseboards, and lovely windows that fill the cozy living room with natural light. The completely remodeled kitchen (2015) was taken down to the studs and redesigned into an open floor plan featuring quartz countertops, cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and sink, and a large counter-depth refrigerator. The main-level bedroom and fully renovated first-floor bathroom provide convenience and style, with the bath remodeled down to the studs and featuring a soaker tub along with updated bathroom fixtures and hardware. Upstairs offers two spacious bedrooms and another full bath, plus charming built-ins including a stationary bunk bed. The finished basement expands the living space with a family room, recreation room, laundry area, and newer carpeting. Additional improvements include Parks flood control with a lift station, two pumps, and battery backup for added peace of mind. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a 5-foot cedar privacy fence and a covered side patio attached to the 1.5-car garage-perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Ideally located near parks, schools, and the library, with convenient access to the Blue Line and expressway, this home has it all. A rare opportunity in Oriole Park-this one is truly a beauty! Don't miss it!
