A gracious foyer welcomes you into a spacious living room, dedicated dining area, and a bright sunroom - perfect as a home office, playroom, or reading nook. The thoughtfully redesigned kitchen blends timeless charm with modern functionality, featuring a brand-new quartz island for casual dining, sleek new granite countertops, a reconfigured extended wall of cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances, preserved original 42" cabinetry with updated hardware, and a classic subway tile backsplash. A stylishly refreshed powder room with an updated mirror and light fixture is conveniently located just off the kitchen, making it ideal for guests. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed and additional furniture and is complete with two professionally organized closets, one of which is newly built. The full bathroom features a tub/shower combination, beautiful tile flooring, and custom built-in storage. The semi-finished basement with epoxy flooring provides a dedicated laundry area, abundant storage, and flexible space for a family room or home gym. A convenient mudroom leads to the professionally landscaped, privacy-fenced backyard, featuring a brick paver patio and walkway to the 2.5-car garage with epoxy flooring and direct street access. Additional improvements include fresh interior paint and updated light fixtures throughout, upgraded attic insulation, new siding, a rebuilt chimney with a new liner, upgraded 200-amp electrical service, new copper plumbing, basement waterproofing with a sump pump and battery backup, and a tear-off roof (2018). Ideally located near the community pool, park, tennis courts, highly rated schools, I-290, the Blue Line, and the restaurants and shops of vibrant downtown Forest Park, this home seamlessly combines charm, comfort, and functionality, leaving nothing to do but move in and enjoy.
