Three bedroom, two bath, brick step ranch in an ideal location -- sandwiched between two downtown areas -- Des Plaines and Mount Prospect! This home has newer appliances in the kitchen and laundry, with 42" real maple kitchen cabinets, ceramic floors, and pull out pantry. There's a finished basement that's home to the second full bath and a potential 4th bedroom space or office, with extra storage space to boot! The roof on the home and garage were redone with long-lasting architectural shingles in 2012 -- the gutters were also replaced that same year. All windows were replaced in 2010, kitchen and living room windows new in 2026. Both storm doors have built-in, retractable screens that roll up when not in use, no need to juggle screens when you want some fresh air. The AC unit was replaced within the last 6 years. Clay pipe sewer lateral to street was recently replaced, all new with PVC. Large, private fenced backyard with a gate that opens up to the Rand Rd bikeway/trail system -- connecting to the Des Plaines River Trail system. There's even a gutter hook-up for a rain barrel in the backyard. With a two-car garage and a huge shed, you can store all your toys. This is a wonderful property!
