Property Description

Well-maintained and solidly built home located in the desirable Cumberland neighborhood, situated on an extra-wide lot just steps from the Cumberland Metra station and Cornell Park. The main level offers hardwood floors, three spacious bedrooms, and a full bath, along with comfortable living and dining areas highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace. Natural light fills the home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The lower level significantly expands the living space and features a fourth bedroom, full bathroom, wood-burning fireplace, and a hand-built bar, making it an ideal setting for social gatherings, entertaining, or extended living arrangements. This level also functions perfectly as a recreation room, media space, or private retreat. Major system and interior updates were completed in 2023, providing peace of mind for the next owner. Improvements include a Lennox furnace, water heater, copper plumbing throughout, brand-new siding, and updated windows throughout most of the home. Conveniently located near Cumberland Metra, Cornell Park, schools, and neighborhood amenities, this well-maintained home offers exceptional value, space, and accessibility in one of Des Plaines' most sought-after communities. Easy to show with flexible scheduling.
