269 Rouse Ave.

Historic Colonial Revival two-story with all the charm and nostalgia you'd expect in a vintage home this age. From the moment you pull up and notice the dentil and crown moulding, you'll know you've come across something very special. Some of the charm and nostalgia includes the old-fashioned mop board, real wood doors, maple leaf bronze door hardware, radiator heat, arched doorways, hardwood flooring, laundry chute, and built in wall niches (one for old phone on the 2nd floor). This home needs work...no doubt about it, so it's priced 'as-is/where-is' for the condition. But if you can bring your creative ideas, you'll be glad you took the plunge into something quite special. Your home will be the talk of the town! Beautiful living room w/cove ceiling, elegant masonry fireplace, & arched doorways leading to the dining room w/built in corner hutches. Wood stairway w/wrought iron railing leads to 3 bedrooms. Unique cork wood flooring on the 2nd story. Some windows have been updated. Bonus sunroom/screened porch for extra living space. Full partially finished basement as well. 2-car detached garage. Nice sized partially fenced yard. BRAND NEW DRIVEWAY LAST SUMMER! Brand new rubbed oil bronze kitchen faucet, too. One block from the neighborhood park. Two blocks from downtown Mundelein where you can dine at a bunch of local businesses, shop, take the METRA train to the city or O'Hare, and watch the annual fireworks display. Only six blocks from Carmel Catholic High School. Don't miss this steal of a deal waiting for your creative ideas and touches. Affordable enough to buy this great home with a yard, rather than settle for a condo/townhome with monthly fees and rules and regulations to have to follow. Come see this home before it's GONE!
