Spacious family home on an oversized Chicago lot just minutes from Midway and 20 minutes from downtown; this freshly painted home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a full, finished basement with in-law arrangement potential and is move-in ready! The eat-in kitchen has solid-wood 42" cabinets and stainless-steel appliances (stove 2024), with newly finished hardwood floors throughout the main level, along with 2 bedrooms. The 2nd floor features new carpeting, skylights in the loft and master bedroom and a full bathroom. The basement offers 2 additional bedrooms (or office/bonus rooms), a family room, full bath, a partial kitchen and laundry room. Outside you'll find a front porch added in 2021 (with a new front door and windows), a large deck out back and an oversized 2.5 car garage. The entire home was rehabbed in 2004 including electric, plumbing, windows, roof, siding, gutters, and heating/cooling - including 2 separate systems for 2nd floor (both ACs are newer). Great location for frequent flyers or Midway Airport employees/staff. This house really does offer everything - even low taxes!
