Property Description
ONE BLOCK TO THE PARK. ONE MILE TO LAKE MICHIGAN. AND SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU'D EXPECT INSIDE! This move-in-ready Cape Cod delivers the kind of location buyers search for-just steps from Forsythe Park and the bike path, approximately one mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan, and only minutes from Lost Marsh Golf Course, the casino, the proposed Chicago Bears stadium area of Wolf Lake, and Chicago commuting. The curb appeal immediately catches your eye with low-maintenance vinyl siding, newer vinyl windows with Colonial grids, and a striking front door. Step inside and you'll find recently revealed hardwood floors ready to be refinished to your taste, plus fresh paint throughout much of the home creating a clean, neutral backdrop. The living room is full of personality with unique arched doorways, rounded ceiling details, and a wood-burning fireplace (not used) that gives the space warmth and charm. The kitchen features lovely painted cabinetry and is complemented by a separate formal dining room-perfect for hosting. Two bedrooms are conveniently located on the main level along with a full bath featuring a reglazed tub and tiled shower surround. Then head upstairs, where this Cape Cod really surprises you. The generous primary bedroom offers two closets, plus there's an additional bonus room with charming bump-outs and built-in storage benches. Use it as a fourth bedroom, playroom, home office, hobby room, or cozy reading retreat-the flexibility is yours. The full basement offers plenty of room for laundry and storage, with EverDry basement drain tile installed just a few years ago. Even better, the home experienced no reported seepage during the recent heavy storms. Two furnaces and two central air units provide convenient zoned heating and cooling throughout the home. Outside, enjoy your own private fenced backyard with plenty of space to relax, garden, entertain, or play. Multiple poured concrete pads add versatility, and the handy storage shed was added in 2021.
