Description

A charming home a block from Forest Park's strip of popular bars, restaurants and shops, right next to one of the nicest parks in the village, as well as a few blocks from Forest Park's Blue Line terminus. The living room, dining room and kitchen are wide, and the bedrooms face out on a little park next door. Because the lot is wide, it has a narrow side yard and has a beautiful back yard that. There is a new two car garage that has a narrow easement to the park which was grandfathered in. The kitchen was remodeled in 2005 with refinished vintage wood cabinets, Silestone amalgamated stone counter tops, and has an added 19 in dish washer and electric stove. They don't say "Big City Access, Small Town Charm" for no reason.
505 Thomas Ave, Forest Park, IL 60130 is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1,398 sqft single-family home built in 1914. It last sold for $285,000 on Jul 13, 2015. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $480,000, with a rent estimate of $2,744/month.
