1635 N 77th Ave.

Improvements complete! New tear off roof on house with transferable Warranty to buyer. New quartz countertop and ceramic/glass backsplash. Freshly painted kitchen. New porcelain tiled floors. Remodeled baths on 1st and 2nd floor. Located in the heart of River Forest Manor on a quiet tree lined cul-de-sac street. Close to public transportation and some of the best restaurants in the area. This double bay colonial is currently owned by the second family since it was originally built for a WW2 veteran. Because much of the vintage charm is still intact such as the plaster crowned ceiling molding, oak hardwood floors on both levels, wood burning fireplace with mantel in the living room. Similar properties in the area that have been upgraded have sold 520,000 plus. All of the windows have been upgraded to thermopane windows and the glass block windows in the basement. The office room not only has crank out skylights but a built in sleeve air conditioner and vent free gas fireplace controlled by a remote thermostat. A huge 8 foot sliding patio door leads to the deck overlooking the gorgeous perennial back yard with custom Koi pond. Pond can be removed at the buyer's request. The back yard is secured with a 6 foot white vinyl fence that never needs painting. Kitchen and basement have newer insulated entry doors. Other upgrades include a 200 amp electrical panel, R-49 attic insulation, majority of plumbing replaced with copper, a beautiful 4 car garage that has a 1 car door leading to the back yard making access a breeze, a pull down staircase to the attic and a dividing wall down the middle if the next owner wanted to rent out half the garage for income. Lower level rec room with a separate full bath with walk-in shower. Previous laundry plumbing is still intact. Would make for an ideal wet bar or second kitchen. Home warranty included. Owner is a licensed Realtor.
