About this home

Opportunity awaits in this classic home that has been lovingly owned by the same family for over 40 years.

The property has been maintained without pesticides and features an established collection of perennials and edible gardens, including hostas, strawberries, black raspberries, asparagus, irises, and a composting area. A detached two-car garage with a unique canoe bump-out offers additional storage for outdoor enthusiasts. Newer Roof and A/C in 2026. The location is truly exceptional-just minutes from vibrant downtown events, restaurants, shopping, the Metra station, schools, and the library. Whether you're looking to restore its original beauty or update it with your own style, this home offers incredible potential in one of the area's most desirable neighborhoods.
