This charming, well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1-bath Cape Cod in Morton Grove is mechanically sound and move-in ready. A major upgrade in 2010-2011 increased the usable area of the second-floor bedrooms, added a walk-in closet and improved the overall appearance, weather durability and insulation value. All of the original 1940s-era windows were substituted with low-maintenance, double-pane, Argon-gas replacements. Natural light abounds throughout. The hardwood floors and wooden doors have been kept in great condition; they add character and warmth without sacrificing a contemporary feel. Mechanically, it is equipped with a high-efficiency furnace, central air, a sump pump and backup, an upgraded 100-amp electrical panel, and a high-recovery 50-gal. water heater. A new asphalt driveway installed in 2018 leads to a garage and fenced-in backyard, where an enclosed back porch looks out over mature trees and shrubs that offer a lot of privacy. The full finished basement with an exterior entrance makes this a versatile gem. Located in Golf School District 67, this home is less than a mile away from parks, tennis courts and the village recreation center.
