Originally a modest frame bungalow built in 1910, this charming single family home has been lovingly expanded and renovated over the years into the perfect combination of history and modern comfort. The home's exterior is a picture of classic charm, with white siding perfectly accented by hunter green trim, a nod to its architectural heritage. The interior spreads across a generous 1,686 square feet (not counting the basement!!), offering four inviting bedrooms and two modern, full bathrooms. Step inside to be greeted by an abundance of natural light that fills every corner of the house. The first thing that might catch your attention is the living room's expansive bay window. It perfectly frames the western view, inviting the warm afternoon sunlight to illuminate the space and create a soothing ambiance. The updated kitchen features natural maple cabinets, gleaming granite countertops, and all appliances including a built-in microwave and dishwasher. A movable island in the center offers additional workspace, and a large breakfast bar seamlessly connects the kitchen to the adjoining family / dining room. This room, bathed in light from windows on three sides plus a skylight, is the heart of the home. With a vaulted ceiling and hardwood floors, this room is perfect for entertaining or spending time with family. The main floor includes a full bath, recently updated with mosaic hex tile flooring, a new vanity, and the perfect green wall color. Also on the main floor is a bedroom and an office, plus convenient laundry facilities. Upstairs, three more bedrooms and another full bath provide plenty of space for everyone. The basement, despite having lower than average ceilings, has had recent flood control measures installed and offers bonus living space perfect for a media room, play area, home schooling, and crafting, as well as plenty of storage space too. Outside, you'll find a large fenced yard on an extra deep lot (179 feet!), a rarity in the neighborhood. A small deck leads down to a patio area and planting bed ready for your gardening dreams. A two-car garage features a "party door" for easy yard access. Located in a friendly residential neighborhood, this home is just blocks from CTA Blue line station, the Forest Park pool, parks, and local schools. Experience the blend of charm, space, and location this Forest Park gem has to offer. Don't miss the chance to make this your new home!
