Calling all lovers of ranch homes, mid-century aficionados, or are you just looking for a lovely, comfortable, spacious home? This super ranch sits high on the street and even features a brand new hand rail to help you navigate the few steps. And it's only an 8-minute walk to the blue line for quick access to the City. Generous size rooms on the first-floor feature hardwood floors in the living room, and bedrooms. The entire house has been freshly painted in the last couple of years. The combined kitchen/dining area offers plenty of storage, including a pantry. The expansive basement doubles the home's size and includes a generous laundry, workroom, recreation room, and family room. The backyard features many lovely perennials, a paver patio, 2 car garage, and is completely fenced. Back to back baths on the first floor, one full bath and one half bath. One's pink and one's yellow. Your chance to enjoy this great vintage decor. The roof on the house and garage was a tear-off in 2018. New A/C Condenser 2018. Water heater 2016. Top of the line Whirlpool front-loading washer and dryer included. Clean out valve plus check valve installed to prevent water backup. Enjoy living on a quiet, tree-lined residential street with excellent access to Oak Park, the vibrant Madison Restaurant scene in Forest Park, and great proximity to the City. It's not easy appealing to city lovers and suburbanites alike. Somehow the Village of Forest Park manages to offer residents the best of both worlds with its easy city access and small-town sense of community. Known for its award-winning dining scene, Forest Park has been voted by readers of the Chicago Tribune as the "Best Neighborhood Dining" in the Chicago area. Residents also enjoy plenty of recreation, including beautiful parks and an aquatic center with two large water slides and a volleyball court. Forest Park has a healthy mix of industrial and commercial businesses, including a major shopping mall and a bustling commercial center. Historic Madison Street is at the heart of the shopping and dining district, featuring local boutiques, antique shops, and restaurants. Students are primarily served by Forest Park School District 91 and the Proviso Township High Schools District 209. The prestigious Proviso Mathematics and Science Academy is also located in the community. Commuters have several transportation options with Metra, CTA "L" trains (both Green and Blue lines), and access to the Eisenhower Expressway.
