01About this home

Blending timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, this expansive 6-bedroom home offers exceptional flexibility for today's lifestyle. Featuring two fully renovated bathrooms with premium Kohler fixtures, the layout comfortably supports both single-level living & large household functionality. Originally designed as a two-flat, the property presents a rare opportunity for future multi-unit conversion where zoning permits, creating long-term versatility beyond its current single-family use. The main level features two spacious bedrooms & a full bath, while the second floor offers four additional bedrooms, a beautifully updated second bath, & access to a rooftop balcony overlooking views toward Park Ridge Country Club. Extensive restoration & improvement work completed from 2021 to today reflects true pride of ownership, including new windows & doors, updated lighting, restored original hardwood floors, cherry railings, wide trim, wainscoting, & an updated kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances. A full unfinished basement offers exceptional potential for additional living space, recreation, or storage. Outdoors, the detached two-car garage, new bluestone patio, additional patio space, & refreshed landscaping create inviting spaces for entertaining & everyday living. Ideally located near Uptown, Metra access, & major expressways, this home offers the perfect balance of space, convenience, flexibility, & long-term value.
