Welcome home to your personal retreat in the heart of Park Ridge! Bring your ideas to refresh and update this charming and spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom corner lot bungalow. The true showstopper is the backyard oasis-a beautifully landscaped retreat featuring a 15x30 in-ground, heated pool with an attached jacuzzi, a generous patio for relaxing or entertaining, a natural gas grilling station, and a fully fenced yard for privacy. Whether you're hosting summer gatherings or enjoying a peaceful evening swim, this backyard is designed to impress. Inside, the home is equally inviting. The main level includes a sun-filled living room with a cozy fireplace, a formal dining room, and a full bathroom. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous cabinet space throughout, and a center island with seating. A vaulted-ceiling breakfast nook offers an additional dining area and floods the kitchen with natural light. Upstairs, the private primary suite includes a full en-suite bath, joined by two generously sized bedrooms. Comfort is ensured year-round with baseboard heat and dual-zone central air, along with energy-efficient thermal windows. The expansive finished basement adds valuable living space, featuring a large recreation room, laundry area, utility room, and a full bath. The basement offers a great in-law arrangement, teen retreat, or entertaining hub since there is a full bathroom already in place. Plus, there is dual egress, with a convenient walk-out access to the backyard. Making it easy to transition from indoor living to outdoor enjoyment. Additional highlights include an oversized 2.5-car garage (22x24) with alley access, newer roof and siding (2012), and proximity to everything: Edison Park dining and shopping, vibrant Uptown Park Ridge for summer concerts in the park, car shows, Farmer's Market, and Taste of Park Ridge. Zoned for top-rated Roosevelt Elementary, Lincoln Middle School, and Maine South High School.
