Property Description

Outstanding Highland Park ranch you won’t want to miss! The main level features a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace, a kitchen with a convenient eat-in area, two comfortable bedrooms, and a full bath. An added sunken living room offers even more space to relax, complete with a second fireplace for extra charm. The finished basement expands your living space with a large family room (featuring a hidden room tucked behind a bookshelf!), two non-conforming bedrooms, and an additional full bath perfect for guests, hobbies, or a home office. Step outside to enjoy a true backyard retreat with a 2-car garage, a large privacy-fenced yard, and a deck that surrounds the above-ground pool. You’ll also love the brick patio, beautiful landscaping, and the newer pool house/she shed with matching finishes, complete with a refrigerator and TV. Conveniently located with easy access to downtown and the interstate, this home offers both comfort and accessibility.
