Meticulously maintained all-brick ranch with a full basement (approximately 75% finished), ideally located near Bird Park, the popular Blues Cafe, and just minutes from schools, restaurants, grocery shopping, and only 2 miles from I-57. This solid and timeless home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, featuring hardwood floors throughout the main level and ceramic tile in the kitchen and dining area. Extensive updates provide peace of mind for the next owner, including a new water heater (2025), Trane furnace and central air (2017), all new Feldco windows (2016), and updated copper hot and cold water piping (2021). The upstairs bathroom was remodeled in 2020, and both front and rear storm doors along with a new back door were added in 2019. The partially finished basement greatly expands the living space and is currently set up with a home office, family room, weight-lifting area, and work space, offering incredible flexibility. A full counter with sink provides excellent potential for a small kitchenette, making the lower level ideal for related living, entertaining, or multi-generational use, while still leaving unfinished space for storage or projects. Exterior improvements include a new carport and garage roof (2023), new garage door motor, arm, rollers, and springs, new concrete from the garage to the front sidewalk (2021), and a vinyl backyard fence (2020) with four gated access points, including a 4-foot gate. The rear landing by back door was also replaced in 2020 featuring brick blocks from Chicago, and the backyard features a dedicated fire pit area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This home has been exceptionally cared for over the years and offers a rare opportunity to own a well-built brick ranch with major mechanicals and structural updates already completed. Move-in ready and waiting for its next owner to make it their own!
