Description

Lovely cared two bedrooms, 1 bath. Unfinished basement with plumbing in place for a second bath. New washer & dryer, newer furnace & hot water. The new glass block windows, roof, and Stainless Steel appliances are certainly appealing upgrades to the property. The well-maintained backyard with its landscaping and privacy features offer a serene outdoor space, while the large unfinished full basement presents a great opportunity for additional living space. The separate entrance to the second bedroom could indeed make it suitable for an in-law arrangement or guest suite, providing flexibility and privacy. Home is not short on storage. Full attic with pull down stairs, lighting & floor. The location is ideal. Walk across the street to the Brookfield Zoo, forest preserves and bike trails. Nearby amenities included grocery stores, restaurants, entertainment and the Metra. Expressways are less than a 15 minute drive. Overall, this is a lovely and convenient place to call home, with both indoor and outdoor spaces designed for comfort and enjoyment. Location! Beautiful forest preserve views! Large wide lot.

    "My neighborhood is great, it’s friendly, and nice. But it all depends where u live, and/or on which side of brookfield. Also most of the schools are horrible, and the children are very rude. I live on a ok street except we are the corner house and there is a truck company right next to us. So it gets loud at times. Our neighbor in the back plays loud music and shoots fireworks at night when we try to sleep, but the parks are well maintained, and nice."
