*Highest + best offers due Tuesday 5/24 @ 10am* Soooooooo much larger than it looks! This darling 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath, single level ranch home (on a crawlspace) sits on a fenced corner lot in a quaint neighborhood of tree-lined streets. Move-in ready, it's been well maintained by its owners, past & present (the sellers have been here 18 years and have done so much in that time - inquire about the complete list). The layout has a great flow, with the sunny (south-facing) living room leading you into the home and opening to the dining area. Beyond that is the spacious family room addition with sliding glass doors to a huge deck, perfect for grilling, entertaining, relaxing, and watching the sun set. Back inside, the dining area is also open to the white cabinet galley kitchen, complete with a dishwasher & a brand new fridge. Beyond that, you'll find the largest bedroom (in the converted 1+ car attached garage) and the laundry room / half bath -- primary suite potential? Across the living room is the "bedroom wing" with 3 nice-sized bedrooms and the full bath (new subway tile tub / shower insert just installed this week!) The icing on the cake: the screened porch off the back of the kitchen that connects to the large fenced yard, complete with a firepit area and water feature.

Sliding glass doors take you right out to the oasis of a backyard, but we'll get to that in a minute... First let's talk about the primary suite that this owner had completely re-done in 2021 with no expenses spared, to create a HUGE 8x21 ft walk-in closet with built-in dressers, shelves, hanging rods, purse displays, and more - but the showpiece is the truly spa-like private bathroom: large-scale Rialto Grand polished porcelain tiles surround the deep jetted soaking tub & walk-in shower, floor to ceiling. The other 1/2 of the 2nd floor is comprised of two identical sized bedrooms, hall bath, and laundry room. But wait... There's even more!

Back outside - seamless indoor-outdoor summers can be in your future here with a large deck, great yard space, oversized 3 car garage, all fenced in (there's even a graveled dog run along the side of the house). Oak Park-adjacent = more affordable, but within reach of so many of the area's amenities!
