Absolutely brimming with character and opportunity, this all-brick Park Ridge home sits in a sought-after neighborhood where tree-lined streets and pride of ownership set the stage for something truly special. From the moment you step into the foyer with its arched doorways and welcoming proportions, you can feel the potential. The living room features a classic bay window and a wood-burning fireplace that's just waiting to become the cozy focal point of a refreshed, modern gathering space. The dining room, with hardwood floors, coved ceiling, chair rail detail, and its own bay window, offers the perfect canvas for elevated entertaining once reimagined. The kitchen provides generous space, hardwood flooring, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry-ready for someone with vision to transform it into the showpiece it deserves to be. Just beyond, the family room offers recessed lighting, sliding doors to the deck, and a practical drop-zone closet, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow and everyday functionality. A main-level powder room completes the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet, additional double-door closet, and a spacious bath with vaulted ceiling, skylight, double vanity, Jacuzzi tub, and separate shower-an ideal footprint for a stunning renovation. Three additional bedrooms provide ample space, including generous closets, while the hall bath is well-positioned for a stylish update. A convenient second-floor laundry closet adds practicality to daily living. The walkout basement expands the home's versatility with a recreation room anchored by a second wood-burning fireplace, a game area, additional half bath, and abundant storage-perfect for creating the ultimate lower-level retreat. Outside, a concrete driveway and walkway, expansive deck, and solid brick construction offer a strong foundation for the next chapter. This is a home with great bones, generous square footage, and an unbeatable location, waiting for the right buyer to bring creativity, style, and vision to unlock its full potential in one of Park Ridge's most desirable neighborhoods.
