Great opportunity to own this bright and spacious split-level home on a beautiful big corner lot in Des Plaines Manor. Total living space is approx. 1600 sq ft including the lower-level family room. This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, hardwood floors, and an oversized 2.5-car garage with a new garage door opener. Large windows fill the home with natural light, making it bright and welcoming. With great bones, this home is perfect for buyers looking to add their personal touches. A little TLC can transform it into a beautiful home. Recent updates include a new oven, a new roof in 2025, and a water heater in 2023. The location is hard to beat- walking distance (1/2 mile) to downtown Des Plaines, Metra station, restaurants, shopping, library and entertainment. Close to highways, parks, forest preserves, and minutes from O'Hare International Airport. The area is very secure, with the police and fire department conveniently close by. Home is being sold as-is. Easy to show.
