Proudly family-owned since it was built in 1952, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated brick ranch sits on an extra-wide 45-foot lot with a side drive in desirable Norwood Park. A complete interior and basement remodel in 2012 created a modern, move-in-ready home featuring a chef's kitchen, hardwood floors, and updated bathrooms. The finished basement adds valuable living space, while extensive mechanical and structural updates provide peace of mind: new electrical panel (2012), furnace (2020), central air (2016), water heater (2021), and brand-new house and garage roof (2025). Soundproof windows and doors were installed by the city in 2012 and are scheduled to be replaced again in 2026-2027 at no cost to the homeowner. Outdoor living shines with a professionally installed paver patio and heated pool (2015), plus recent updates including a new pool heater (2022) and pump (2025). The fully fenced yard (2015) also includes a storage shed and a two-and-a-half-car garage. Additional improvements include newer kitchen appliances (2022), basement bath shower (2025), exterior tuckpointing (2024), and fresh exterior paint (2025). Basement waterproofing system with drain tile and battery backup adds extra security. Located on a quiet street with easy access to Metra, expressways, the Blue Line, shopping, and dining.
