This darling Cape Cod-style home is tucked into the highly desirable Whispering Oaks neighborhood, just a few short blocks from Cherokee Elementary School and the Fort Sheridan Metra stop. Set on a generous 0.83-acre lot-larger than most in the area-the professionally landscaped grounds offer an exceptional outdoor experience, complete with a bluestone patio and expansive backyard perfect for entertaining, recreation, or quiet relaxation. Inside, more than 3,000 square feet of living space includes 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. At the center of the home, a light-filled kitchen and breakfast area open to the family room, where a gas-log fireplace and oversized windows flood the house with natural light and provide views of the front and back yards. Classic formal living and dining rooms add timeless charm and flexibility for everyday living and special occasions. The main level also features a large first-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath-ideal for guests or a home office-as well as a spacious laundry room and a thoughtfully designed mudroom that accesses both the backyard and attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the serene primary suite is accompanied by two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath. The finished basement offers a large recreation room and ample storage space. Notable recent upgrades include a new roof and furnace, both installed in 2024. This property is being sold As-Is.
