Amazing updated kitchen with granite counters, island has marble counter with seating area, maple cabinets (including desk area surrounded by pantry cabinets), SS LG double oven, SS Samsung side by side refrigerator with ice maker, SS Samsung dishwasher, recessed and under cabinet lighting and opens to the family room. The family room has an inviting wood burning fireplace with a stone accented wall, built in cabinet with marble top and a sliding glass door that leads to the concrete patio. There's even a powder room nearby which makes it convenient when entertaining. The master bath has been redone too with a walk-in shower, shower door, vanity with mirrored medicine cabinet, light bar and flooring. Several other windows have been replaced (2015). The partially finished basement has a 4th bedroom area and/or office, recreation area, another full bath with a walk-in-shower, bar, and lots of storage space.

Spacious 3-step ranches like this one don't come on the market very often. Great home for entertaining. Ideal location near parks, restaurants, shopping, schools and an area commuter bus that offers transport to the Metra train.
