17204 Chicago Avenue

NEARLY TAKEN DOWN TO THE STUDS-because sometimes a makeover needs more than fresh paint and lipstick on a pig. And let's be honest-we have all seen WAY too many wannabe DIY tragedies lately. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM! This home has been professionally REIMAGINED FROM THE INSIDE OUT! Situated on a generous corner lot, improvements include a BRAND-NEW ROOF, SOFFIT, FASCIA, ALL-NEW WINDOWS, plumbing, FULL ELECTRICAL, plus NEW HARDWARE AND FIXTURES throughout. Work was completed under permit and inspection with green tags issued by Van Drunen Roofers, Bell & Son Plumbing and Electrical Services Inc. The freshly painted exterior, NEW front entry deck and welcoming foyer create an impressive arrival. Inside, the oversized living area offers beautifully refinished custom hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, neutral colors and a fireplace available with the home. The LARGE FAMILY-SIZED DINING ROOM is ready for everyday meals and all those holiday gatherings quickly approaching. The renovated kitchen features BRAND-NEW CABINETRY, stone-look countertops, gas range, refrigerator, marble-look flooring and custom tilework. Hardwood continues upstairs, while the updated bathroom offers a newer vanity, custom-tiled tub surround and built-in shelving. The finished lower level has NEW CARPET and room for a family area, office, gym or recreation space. A rear lower-level walkout provides direct backyard access, with utility and laundry areas nearby. A FULL CONCRETE CRAWL SPACE provides loads of additional storage and easy access to seasonal items. Step onto the NEW COFFEE DECK, constructed with new composite materials and offering a lake view to the northwest. Outside are mature trees, landscaping, covered outdoor space, detached garage, storage shed and additional rear storage. Near I-80/94 and only blocks from local police and fire services for added peace of mind while home or away. HVAC dated September 2007 and water heater installed in 2021. This is the COMEBACK STORY you are going to love-but come prepared with your approval in hand, because the buyers in front of you and behind you are going to love it too!
