Rare opportunity to secure a significantly expanded home offering approximately 2,800 square feet, 5 bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms in highly sought-after Morton Grove within the Park View School District. Originally a 2-bedroom ranch, the home was expanded in 2002 with a full second story, delivering the space today's buyers are looking for without relying on below-grade living. Finding this amount of above-grade square footage in this price range is rare. The main level features hardwood flooring, a bright living room with fireplace, separate dining room, family room off the kitchen, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom-designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The second level offers a spacious primary suite with Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, and private water closet, along with additional bedrooms and a large recreation room. 9-foot ceilings create an open, airy feel throughout. For buyers seeking additional upside, the home's footprint may allow for future basement expansion through methods such as benching to increase ceiling height. Buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding feasibility, costs, and permitting. Additional highlights include two HVAC systems (one per level), a recently replaced first-floor furnace, generous room sizes, and a flexible layout. Enjoy outdoor living with a 30' x 12' deck and balcony, covered access from the two-car garage, and an attached gas grill-ideal for entertaining. Ideally located near parks, pool, tennis courts, forest preserves, Chick Evans Golf Course, Metra, and I-94 with convenient access to downtown Chicago. Offered furnished if desired.

This is a compelling opportunity for buyers looking for space, location, and value-schedule your showing before it's gone.
