This must-see property sits on 3 lots of record 143' x 133' (3 Tax Id#'s). The house, with its timeless vintage charm and quality craftsmanship, sits in the middle lot, a 3-car detached garage plus a 1 1/2 car detached garage behind it, is on one side, and open yard on the other. Ideally located in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by parks and minutes from downtown Des Plaines Metra station, restaurants, shops, and library. The house features oak hardwood floors, crown molding, and baseboards, along with an abundance of natural lighting from all the south-facing windows overlooking the open yard and flower garden. The full-span screened front porch welcomes you into a large living room, with a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, and eat-in kitchen with a bay window. Also on the main level is a spacious bedroom overlooking the backyard and a full bath. The 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms, a half bath, 2 walk-in closets, plus access to a large attic area off the back portion of the 2nd floor. The partially finished full basement (1,386 sq ft) has a separate rec room, workshop, laundry, and lots more space for a work-out room, craft room, and storage. The three lots provide plenty of private outdoor space to enjoy. The patio overlooks the expansive tree lined backyard, along with a separate patio for a grill or hot tub.
