Discover this sharp, move-in-ready ranch located in the heart of Des Plaines. The home features a bright, open kitchen complete with stylish black stainless steel appliances, rich maple cabinetry, and granite countertops. The main level offers a comfortable layout with a living room, dining room, and two bedrooms. For added flexibility, the finished lower level provides a versatile space featuring a family room, an additional bedroom, and a full bath-perfect for guests, a home office, or a media room. Outdoor living is easy with a privacy-fenced yard (updated in 2019), concrete patio for entertaining, and vehicle storage is a breeze with the attached two-and-a-half-car garage. Ideally situated, you are within walking distance to the Metra station and downtown Des Plaines, with easy access to major expressways and the airport. This home features several updates, including a new central A/C (2025), furnace (2018), and new sump pump (2026). The property sits on two PINs and is not in a floodplain. A true gem ready for its new owner!
