About this House

This home has an automatic shut-off valve like the one 'This Old House has on it's website (installed in a Park Ridge, IL home). this home has an has framed garden beds surrounded by wrought iron fence and is next to the shed. The lawn is weed free. There is a designated area for a fire pit. There is an underground gas line for the patio barbie. The rear back garage door has a doggie door. There is room for an add-on garage, the garage is extra long. My Uncle built the sub-division and had us move there in time for a state-of-the art grade school Brentwood. This 1/4 acre yard is completely fenced. and weed free. The street around the corner is named after my uncle and his wife (DaraJames). The neighborhood is safe, pristine and the lots are all large enough for expansion. I grew up here, and when you're out in the yard it feels like an arboretum. All the neighbors' backyards are filled with flowers and trees and beautiful large lots. My favorite features are the safety, beauty , and variety of the well kept homes. The front sun exposure in the bedrooms and livingroom is wonderful and the backyard is shaded by the tree-tops. Some neighbor's section off a piece of the backyard with a privacy fence for parties, weddings, etc. The kitchen appliances are 2012, the gas furnace is a new Lennox top-of-the-line 2009, the roof is 2009, New Rheem Hot Water tank. The A/C has just been tuned up. Peaceful neighbors, no barking dogs. You never see children it's very quiet. Home has Alcoa 8" smooth white aluminum siding. One side of the home needs to be painted, but it hasn't been warm enough. I was able to paint the front aluminum side. The windows are 'triple track' aluminum storm windows. If you need to call with questions, ask for Debbi (312)838-9251. Im having trouble with answering my cell. I have the blue prints for the home plus one of the original handsaws that was used to build the house that I will pass on. Can you leave your name, number and brief topic/questions.
