Welcome to your dream home! This beautifully updated Prairie-style single-family home, built in 1919, offers 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 modern bathrooms. The charming living space features stunning hardwood floors, a coffered ceiling, and great original built-ins that blend timeless character with modern style. The kitchen was remodeled about 16 years ago and includes a newer oven, perfect for culinary adventures. All bedrooms are generously sized, providing ample space for rest and relaxation. One standout feature of this home is the fully finished basement, which includes a private entrance and a second kitchen. Nestled on a generous 164x74-foot lot, the home sits in a tree-lined neighborhood near Pottowami Park and within walking distance to downtown Des Plaines, the Metra train station, Willows Private School, and the local library. Comfort is ensured with a Space Pac AC system and a water heater replaced in December 2025. Lovingly maintained and available on the market for the first time since 1993, this home perfectly combines historic charm with modern updates. Don't miss the opportunity to make it yours!
