6513 Illinois has it all! Located directly across the street from the Elementary school, a short distance to the redesigned Kennedy Avenue business district, and a quick drive to Cline Ave Eway, 80/94, and the South Shore Line station! This home also has the perfect blend of updates and affordability. Functionally this home is in perfect condition as the owners have updated the bathroom, partially updated the kitchen, replaced the windows, and professionally waterproofed the basement. While the hardwood floors, or the kitchen cabinets, and even the siding could be updated to more modern finishes, the new owners can simply continue to care this home has obviously had in the past. Layout includes Living Room, Eat-in Kitchen, 3 Bedroom, and a Full Bath on the Main Level. The Basement is unfinished, professionally waterproofed, features laundry hook up, plenty of storage, and is ready for your finishing touch. The fully fenced back yard has a service door to the garage with an overhead door in the alley for a top notch secure entrance into your home.
