RARE OPPORTUNITY! The beautiful ranch style home on the corner of Paxton Ave and 154th Street across from the forest preserve is available for the first time since 1965! If you've driven by this lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home for years and wondered if you would ever have the chance to purchase it, today is your lucky day! This sprawling brick/stone ranch sits on nearly half an acre and has curb appeal that's off the charts. The Sand Ridge Campus directly across the street guarantees permanent wooded serenity right outside your front window. As you enter the front door, the spacious living room features one of the 2 fireplaces in this home. As you travel down the long hallway, your first stop is a large formal dining room with plenty of afternoon sun. Next, you will see 3 very spacious bedrooms, followed by a lovely full bathroom with double sinks. As you make your journey back down the hall, you will enter the large eat-in kitchen. Just past the kitchen, you will find the very large sunroom, which actually serves as another room for gathering. From the sunroom, you can exit to either the large 2 1/2 car garage, or head out to the lovely backyard, which features plenty of green space, a gas grill and a very large concrete patio. Downstairs, you will enjoy entertaining in the large finished basement, which comes complete with a fireplace, wet bar, office, storage, walk-in cedar closet, laundry area and second bathroom with shower.
