This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features a private office/den ideal for remote work, a study, traditional living space and sits on a generous 1/3-acre lot in one of Highland Park's most established neighborhoods. Built in 1956 with the solid bones of mid-century construction, this 2,751 sq ft property offers the kind of square footage and lot size that buyers simply can't find at this price point in 60035. There is also a 654+ sq ft basement converted from a crawl space, featuring a lifetime transferable waterproofing warranty. The basement has passed inspection by the City of Highland Park and would only require the addition of a staircase to complete. The spacious lot offers plenty of room to grow - think expanded outdoor living, lush landscaping, or simply the breathing room that's increasingly rare in today's market.
