Charming vintage 2 BD, 1 BA home on wooded lot located at the end of a cul-de-sac! Low maintenance exterior and covered front porch. Large private backyard and full basement. Windows have been replaced and there was a new roof in 2023 which was a complete tear-off. These major items have been completed for you! Hardwood floors in the 2 bedrooms and likely in the living room as well. A little sweat equity could transform this vintage cutie into a great home! Located near 3 parks: Lincoln Park, Colonial Park, Island Park and the Root River Parkway. Large paved driveway for off-street parking. Don't miss this one!
