About This Home

320 Cornell Avenue

Poised in the middle of the coveted "Cumberland" neighborhood, being one of the most desirable areas in all of town, sits your soon-to-be mid-century home exemplifying attractive curb appeal with its brick & natural stone exterior on a quiet & secluded Avenue. The embodying architectural significance includes 3 fireplaces, plaster cove moldings, hardwood floors, paneled doors & more! The thoughtfully expanded 1st floor family room, with a raised stone hearth & mantel fireplace surrounded by rows of windows for natural light, flows directly into the kitchen for a cozy & open floor plan. The kitchen has a huge island seating 4-5 along with a table overlooking the family room. The formal living room offers another separate congregation area offering privacy, another fireplace & beautiful views from the large picture window. With 1.5 baths on the first floor(double sink) & 2nd full bath in the basement, there's no waiting for water here! (-: The full finished basement offers a spacious recreation room, a 3rd fireplace, 2nd full working kitchen & full bathroom. Entertaining friends, family holiday gatherings, parties or just simply living comes naturally in this well functioning versatile floor plan and space. Even a multi-generational family would be comfortable with the kitchen & full bath in the finished basement. Say goodbye to cold cars on those chilly winter days as you step inside your toasty 2 car attached heated garage with its own dedicated furnace & epoxy flooring. The spacious private 6-foot fenced backyard is landscaped with flowers, perennials, brick patio, built-in gas grill and a storage shed. The ultra convenient location offers so many parks/playgrounds nearby within walking distance, a short 3 block walk to the Metra train station, 6 blocks to the Cumberland/Chippewa Schools/pools/pickleball courts and an easy 5-10 minute drive to Mariano's Grocery Store & Walmart Supercenter. The current owner has made many improvements to the home in recent years including extensive sewer & plumbing work, rebuilt brick patio, 1st floor full bath remodel, furnace replacement, water heater replacement, landscaping, remote control family room gas fireplace insert that can heat the entire room, 43,000 BTU gas furnace & thermostat in attached garage, radon mitigation system & more. And, the recessed lighting in most rooms & basement provide all the light you'll ever need. BTW, modest property taxes also keeping your monthly payments lower! If the Chicago Bear's late owner loved & lived in this neighborhood for decades, you will too!!
