Description

Highly sought after location on the desirable Cornell block, only two blocks from the Metra and tucked into one of the most vibrant, walkable neighborhoods in town! This 2 bedroom home is packed with personality, updates, and room to grow. Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors, a sun-drenched living room with a statement brick fireplace, and a dining space that's ready for your next gathering.

Off the back, discover a 4-seasons room bound in glass sliding doors that invites you to soak in the lush, landscaped views of your serene backyard oasis. Think stunning garden beds, gorgeous brick patio, built-in gas grill, and dreamy evening lighting. Find two generously sized bedrooms and a well-appointed hall bath.

Additional highlights include NEW roof (2024), newer windows (2014), furnace + AC (2014). Top-rated schools: Cumberland Elementary, Chippewa Middle, and Maine West High.
