Welcome home! This nicely updated 3 bedroom stucco bungalow in a perfect, central Riverside location is hard to come by! Easily walk to the train, elementary and junior high schools, local grocer and restaurants. This home maintains the perfect balance of original charm and modern amenities. A stunning kitchen renovation completed in 2020 is at the heart of the home, designed by Riverside's Landmark Kitchens complete with high-end shaker cabinetry, quartzite countertops, walnut shelving, and Kitchen Aid appliances. This space opens to a bright sunroom / family room that overlooks the huge backyard (245' deep lot!). Charming paneling and built-ins are found throughout the first level, along with much of the original, well preserved hardwood flooring. This home is mechanically updated and sound, with a new roof (2018/19), updated electrical and new recessed lighting throughout (2020), insulation (2020), Lindemann restored wood burning fireplace (2022), fiber internet (2021), Samsung washer and dryer (2021), water heater (2022) and an updated powder room (2022). Most water lines are copper, and climate control is gas / forced air. Outside in the spacious yard, Hinsdale Nurseries has designed a sustainable, low maintenance native-plant landscape. Aluminum fencing has been added to part of the yard. A large two car garage rounds out the exterior. The unfinished basement leaves many possibilities, including the potential to double the living square footage of this home! This is a great opportunity to establish residence in one of the best kept secrets in the Chicago area!
