A true classic -- a single-story bungalow within a few short blocks of Highland Park's vibrant downtown center, shops, restaurants, amenities and Metra station. A welcoming enclosed porch will greet you as you enter this charming home. Then step into a surprisingly expansive open design starting with the inviting living area leading to the large formal dining area and then clear through to the updated kitchen with its granite-topped island & counters, stainless appliances, wood cabinetry, slate backsplash and view of the adjoining rear deck. Two main floor bedrooms with newer carpeting and a full bath with a jetted tub are accessed here. You'll find many refinished hardwood floors and appealing exposed brick throughout the home. The full walk-out basement adds so much more and includes a large family room, third bedroom (or office/den/library etc.) and a great full bath. The mechanicals, utilities and laundry area, which includes abundant storage space, are also located on this level. Outside you'll find a raised deck with direct access through sliding glass doors from the kitchen or stairs to the yard and detached two-car garage. Combine, charm, convenience and affordability here! Property sold "as is."
