If evenings around a firepit and coffee on the porch are something you enjoy (or want to enjoy), you'll want to see this four-bedroom home in a well-established Unit 5 neighborhood near Anderson Park and shopping. The main level features two comfortable living areas, including one with a fireplace for cooler Illinois evenings. The kitchen has been updated with an island and room for a small table, while a separate dining room provides additional space for meals and entertaining. Upstairs, you'll find four bedrooms, including a primary suite with an updated private bath (2024). The main bathroom was remodeled approximately six years ago, and new carpet was installed on the stairs and upstairs hallway in 2023. The freshly repainted deck (2025) overlooks the fully fenced backyard, where mature landscaping includes lilacs, hydrangeas, daylilies, hostas, arborvitae, and a flowering tree. A professionally designed raised firepit and seating area anchors the space, while a small clump of evergreens creates the perfect hideout for kids (and imaginative adults) to build forts and let their creativity run. Many of the windows have been replaced with newer Pella windows (all but six), and the dishwasher was replaced in 2025. The unfinished basement is notably dry (even during the 100-year rains) and includes a water-backup sump pump for added security. A laundry chute adds a bit of old-school charm (and unexpected entertainment). While not common any longer, kids think they're magic. Don't worry, the "uh-oh, it's stuck" stick will stay with the house. Come see it for yourself and start building your own stories in this wonderful home.
