01About this home

If you're looking for a private setting with no backyard neighbors, this fabulously updated and rare 4-bedroom brick ranch is tucked away in highly sought-after Ridgewood. Larger than it appears, the home features a thoughtfully redesigned layout that integrates all main rooms for space that is attractive, connected and functional for everyday living. The bright, open-concept layout is anchored by a stunning kitchen featuring maple cabinetry, granite countertops, architectural tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. With an abundance of windows, brick interior wall, and beamed ceiling the main-level family room offers a warm and inviting gathering place. Gorgeous oak hardwood flooring, updated lighting, and crisp white trim and doors flow seamlessly throughout every room, exuding a clean, modern aesthetic. Both the private primary bath and main bathroom have been tastefully updated with Kohler fixtures, tiled floors, and beautifully finished showers. The full unfinished basement presents a blank canvas for additional living, recreation, and storage space. Step outside to a private backyard retreat set on this large, wooded and professionally landscaped lot where you can enjoy summer days by the pool (partially set in-ground) or relax and entertain on the expansive patio well into the evening. A 2.5-car garage with side driveway and expanded parking adds everyday convenience. Extensively updated over the past decade, nearly every major component has been replaced or improved--including roof, siding, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, kitchen, baths, windows, and so much more--providing valuable peace of mind. With an expansive 1,700 square foot main-level plus an additional 1,400 square feet in the basement, this home offers practical space today with endless possibilities for the future. The timing is perfect to settle in, prep the yard for summer, mingle in the neighborhood, and enjoy the beauty and benefits of living in Western Springs with tree-lined streets, a vibrant walkable downtown, top-rated schools, and convenient Metra access to/from the city.
