Solid brick raised-ranch offering 4 bedrooms plus two fully functional kitchens (ideal for in-law setup or summer kitchen). The main level shines with hardwood floors in the living room and all bedrooms, while the kitchen features all-new flooring (2025), professionally painted cabinets with updated hardware (2022), and newer kitchen appliances (2022). The entire home was also freshly painted in 2022. Recent updated systems include a furnace, A/C, and hot water tank (2018); roof (2015); and noise-mitigation vinyl windows throughout (double-pane). The finished basement adds a fourth bedroom, full bath with stand-up shower, and very generous living space. Outside, the large backyard is ready for summer entertaining plus an oversized garage offers extra storage and/or workshop space. This home has been meticulously maintained and truly move-in ready. Perfectly situated in Garfield Ridge, a tight-knit southwest Chicago neighborhood known for its quiet charm, excellent access to everyday amenities like grocery stores (Jewel-Osco with Starbucks is steps away), parks, local eateries, and public transit and popularity among government and first-responder families.
