Key Facts
Description
Wonderful opportunity to create your own dream home! This house has been in the family since the 1970's and it's a de facto estate sale. Selling as-is. It needs a complete makeover and some repair. The main floor has two bedrooms, a full bath, and plenty of living space. The upstairs has two very large bedrooms and attic space over the garage. It also has a full bath. There is additional space in the basement for lots of creative ideas. Three large rooms that could be used in many ways. The house has incredible space, and it is in a prime location. Highly rated Spring Avenue elementary school and William F Gurrie Middle School are very close. Downtown La Grange, with its many restaurants and shopping, is not far at all. Neither is the Metra! Homes in the area are a hot commodity! Consider this your blank canvas, just waiting to become the home you've always wished for!!
