Spacious and charming single-family home in coveted Big Oaks neighborhood! Sellers have maintained and updated this lovely home meticulously over the nearly 30 years they've owned and raised their family in it. The home's main entryway has a coat closet, and opens to a large formal livingroom. The main-floor features a bedroom, a full bath, and a separate diningroom with a large pantry. The kitchen was updated just 5 years ago with stainless steel appliances, a modern subway tile backsplash, and Corian countertops. The home has hardwood floors throughout most living areas, including in the family room addition that was added in 2001. This room has a soaring 16' vaulted ceiling with a skylight, and a beautiful brick woodburning fireplace with a gas starter - perfect for staying cozy & warm on those cold Chicago Winter nights! This room also features a huge storage closet, and a separate washer/dryer closet conveniently located right off the kitchen. Upstairs there are two more large bedrooms, both with hardwood floors and ample closets, and another full bath. The partially finished basement has a fantastic flex space with built-in cabinetry along one entire wall (also featuring Corian countertops) - perfect for crafting or as an expansive buffet when hosting large gatherings. This area has wall-to-wall carpeting, and is well-suited as a children's play area, or game room. Also in the lower level of the home is a huge mudroom area where the laundry used to be. This space has a private entrance from the backyard, and would be ideal for another bathroom and/or kitchenette, giving the homeowners an opportunity for a full in-law suite, or potential income property as a short-term (Airbnb) or leased rental. The deck off the main-floor family room provides easy access to the garage and is a nice size - perfect for grilling! The backyard features a 2.5 car garage with a party door, a great full-sun lawn space, and a brick paver seating and/or dining area - an ideal set-up for Summer gatherings with friends and family! Don't miss the opportunity to call this sweet home your own!
