01About this home

Located in Park Ridge's sought-after Golden Triangle, just moments from top-rated schools, Centennial Park and 4 miles from O'Hare Airport, this home sits on a 50x132 lot and is ready for its next chapter. Originally expanded with an addition in 1957, the property offers a unique blend of character, functionality, and entertaining space. Inside, a separate dining room opens naturally into the kitchen, fitted with stainless steel appliances and a dedicated eating area that keeps daily life flowing. The family room anchors the home around a wood-burning fireplace already plumbed for gas, the kind of detail you appreciate the moment temperatures drop. Up front, the living room pulls in natural light from every window and comes equipped with a projector and impressive 130-inch screen, giving you a blank canvas for movie nights, game days, or whatever your family needs it to be. Upstairs holds four bedrooms, including a through bedroom with flexible access, ideal for a nursery, home office, or guest suite depending on how your household uses it. A full bathroom rounds out the upper level. Downstairs, a laundry room with counter space makes the everyday practical, and the rec room offers additional square footage with space for storage. There is an attached 1-car garage with access to a dedicated work room and a driveway with room for four additional cars. Then there's the backyard, and it earns every bit of attention it's going to get. A screened patio leads out to an entertainer's dream: two distinct outdoor spaces that were clearly built with intention. One features a gas fire pit, refrigerator, sink, and granite countertops. The other is a fully decorated private retreat with a Tiki Bar, string lights, and its own refrigerator, a Key West escape without leaving Park Ridge. A third patio provides additional space for storage and gardening. You won't find another backyard like it. In fact, the home has been featured on both the Weather Channel and Fox News for its legendary pirate-themed Halloween display. Touhy Avenue puts Uptown just minutes away, and the schools, Centennial Park, and the aquatic center are all within walking distance. This is the address people mean when they say they want to be in Park Ridge.
