Description

Beautifully renovated Cape Cod in a prime Elmhurst location - steps to the Spring Road business district, Jackson Elementary, Bryan Middle, and Eldridge Park. Thoughtfully updated throughout, with major improvements that give buyers true peace of mind. The main floor was opened up to create a bright, modern flow, with hardwood floors throughout. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated top to bottom. Updated electrical and a refreshed laundry room add everyday functionality, while a new water heater and freshly serviced furnace mean the mechanicals are in excellent shape. The finished basement is a standout feature - a legal 4th bedroom with egress window and closet, new in-floor plumbing, a sealed ejector pit, and a proper utility setup make this lower level as functional as it is livable. Outside, all-new cement fiber siding and fresh landscaping give the home excellent curb appeal, while the fully fenced 54x135 lot is set up for enjoyment - raised garden beds, a fire pit area, and a deck make for a backyard that's ready to use from day one. The home sits in the Jackson Elementary / Bryan Middle / York High School corridor in the heart of 60126 - a price point that rarely comes available in this neighborhood in this condition. 4 bedrooms 2 full baths Full finished basement 1.5 car garage Move-in ready.

    "Respnsible, happy dog owners all around. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog off leash in this neighborhood. I’ve never seen one dog go after another dog. I’ve never heard dogfighting. Most of the dogs in this neighborhood are small. I think there might be one beagle, a few mixed breeds about that size and some little tiny dogs. The owner of a dangerous dog, and his dog, would not be welcome here."
