Property Description

East Morton Grove location! This pristine custom-built brick ranch sits on beautiful professionally-landscaped 50 x 125 corner lot in the heart of the village: close to train, park, library, etc. It is in the desirable Park View and Niles West school districts. The home's living room features a large bay of windows, lovely cove molding, and a converted electric-log fireplace with original mantel. Hardwood floors have been protected under the carpet throughout the first floor. The kitchen was redone with Corian counters, a greenhouse window over the sink, under-cabinet lighting, soft-close cabinet doors/drawers, and lazy-Susan shelving in the corner cabinet. Stainless steel appliances. First floor full bath has been updated; the half-bath powder room is darling with original 50's tile and everything else updated. There are 3 bedrooms on the main level. The 3rd bedroom has a separate entrance and could be used as an office or TV room. Current owners had the basement professionally finished and added a large family room, a full bath, a separate laundry room, a wet bar with sink, mini-fridge, and microwave, a walk-in cedar clothes closet, additional storage, and a workroom for tinkering. New wiring and 200 amp electric panel installed in 2007. New copper water lines also installed throughout the house in 2007. The custom patio and landscaping was professionally installed by current owners in 2008. Plantings include dogwood, ornamental pear, and privets around the patio, boxwood and roses at the front, and uniquely-colored daylilies and lilac around the south side of the home. The parkway features old-growth trees including an oak tree, maple tree, and an accolade elm tree that was specially bred at the Chicago Botanic Garden to be disease-resistant. Everything was chosen to be low-maintenance. This home has been well-cared-for and shows pride of ownership. Easy to show.
