Key Facts
Description
Tucked into a convenient Norwood Park pocket, this home has the kind of space that lets a family actually spread out and grow into it. You're close to the expressway, O'Hare, and Park Ridge, plus less than a mile from the Cumberland Blue Line stop for an easy commute downtown. This tri-level layout gives you way more room to work with than you'd expect, starting with a foyer that acts as the perfect drop zone the second you walk in. Straight ahead, a cozy family room with a fireplace opens right up to the patio and backyard, ideal for the nights you want the doors open. This level also has the attached garage and a half bath tucked away for entertaining ease. Up the first set of stairs, the kitchen is a great size with an island, breakfast room, and walk-in pantry. This space overlooks the backyard with its own entrance to the deck, your future spot for coffee and morning sun. This floor also holds the dining room and a living room with bay windows pulling in tons of natural light. Upstairs is a dedicated bedroom level with all four bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own ensuite bath, plus three more bedrooms and a second full bath, so nobody's fighting over space. The basement adds even more with a storage room, laundry room, utilities, and a walk-out straight to the backyard. This one checks the boxes that actually matter, and it's in move-in ready condition.
