812 Shibley Ave.

Calling all mid-century modern enthusiasts! Lovingly designed in 1953 by its architect-owner, this 3 bedroom 2 bath brick ranch has been his family's home for 70 years. Soaring beamed ceilings, exposed brick walls, a gas fireplace and a fabulously funky curved wall greet you in the living room. Marvel at the angled ceiling and perfectly placed glass block window high above that allows light to pour into the dining area. The intact original bathrooms and kitchen are 1950s time capsules. The hallway that leads between two of the bedrooms has a cool diffused window shield for privacy and a neat built-in linen closet. This remarkable home boasts ample storage, much of which is cedar-lined. Admire the interesting floor tiles throughout. The fully fenced backyard features mature trees that canopy the patio which is reachable via multiple access points. The partially finished basement has loads of potential with its many windows, clever storage, workshop and laundry area. The one car attached garage is a convenient feature. This home is exceptionally accessible to the best Park Ridge has to offer; it's a quick walk to the Metra station and mere steps from the bus stop. This unique home is truly a mid-century modern lover's dream. The architect's attention to detail in his design exudes pride of ownership. This faded beauty is now ready to be brought back to its former glory. Home to be sold "As Is."
