** Offer deadline: Monday, January 26 at 12:00 PM ** On a quiet Edgebrook block, atop a hard-to-find 38 x 136 lot, this fully updated 3 bed, 2.1 bath raised ranch gives you what most Chicago homes can’t: space, privacy, and a home that is already finished. This is the neighborhood people move to when they want trees, breathing room, and day-to-day convenience without giving up access to the city. Inside is clean and intentional. Upon entry you’ll notice new tile underfoot, new closet doors, and a feature wall that sets the tone perfectly. The main level opens into a bright living room designed for cozy evenings at home, anchored by fresh paint, wainscoting, a new custom built-in with electric fireplace and mantle, and upgraded lighting. The dining area enjoys space that feels right for weeknight dinners or weekends entertaining family and friends, with fresh paint and updated lighting. Hardwood floors run through the living areas and bedrooms, and the layout works wonderfully: all three bedrooms are on the same level, including a primary with warm, elevated fresh paint and wallpaper and TWO separate closets. The modern kitchen is crisp and functional with refreshed paint and new contrasted backsplash, plus a pantry and a built-in mudroom alcove that keeps things contained; coats, bags, and shoes stay organized and out of the main living areas. Downstairs expands into whatever your life needs next. The basement has high ceilings and a wide open footprint that can shift with you over time. Set up a big family room, gym, movie zone, work from home setup, or a guest hangout; the dry bar again makes hosting effortless. A full bath, a huge laundry room with a laundry chute, two additional storage closets, and serious storage round out the lower level so it functions like a second living area, not an afterthought. Additional electrical updates include new outlets for TVs so cords stay hidden, plus an added outlet in the linen closet for a vacuum charger. Behind-the-scenes upgrades are already handled for you: updated electrical and copper plumbing throughout, plus major system improvements including a 2021 furnace, 2016 roof, 2021 windows, 2021 tuckpointing, a 2023 ejector pump, and a 2025 sump pump. Outside, the oversized lot gives you what most city homes cannot; real space to grill, garden, run around, entertain, or simply exhale. All of this in Edgebrook, close to award winning schools, parks, restaurants, shops and easy public transportation, and walking distance to the local preschool and elementary school.
