The home that grows with you. There's a house on North Menard Avenue that understands something most homes don't: life doesn't stay the same, and your home shouldn't have to, either. Today it's just you, settling into the first floor's formal living room and dining space, imagining Sunday football afternoons or quiet dinner parties with friends. Then next year it's your parents moving into the second floor, close enough for family dinners, far enough for everyone's independence. Or next year, your oldest is home from college and needs their independence. Or it's the entrepreneur in you, setting up an Airbnb or rental unit to help offset the mortgage. Maybe it's a home office, a podcast studio, a guest suite. This home holds space for it all - 3 separate living areas, each with its own priv ate entry, ready to become whatever this next season of your life requires. Step outside, and your lifestyle continues. Situated on an oversized 33x124 lot where you can bring your green thumb to life! Rover will love the fenced yard. Location! Directly across the street, Gladstone Park offers over an acre of activities: field house, t-ball field, junior soccer field, a brand-new ADA-accessible soft-surface playground with a spray pool for hot summer days, and an outdoor basketball court. If you'd rather stay home and let the sunshine come to you, this house gives you three ways to do it: a front porch for morning coffee, a west-facing sunroom that holds the afternoon light, and a second-floor deck for evenings that don't want to end. Inside, the first floor offers a formal living room, gorgeous hardwood floors, a dedicated dining space, two spacious bedrooms, and a beautifully updated full bathroom finished with subway tile and a walk-in shower. The kitchen offers the space to create the perfect meal to share with friends and family. The bonus enclosed porch adds extra living space or storage. Upstairs, the second floor offers a different chapter entirely. Picture a primary suite with a second kitchen for slow, lazy mornings. Picture an in-law arrangement or income-producing rental. Picture your personal retreat, with its own outdoor deck just steps from a spacious bedroom that comfortably fits a king-size bed, backed by great closet space. The bathroom here doesn't hold back either - a soaking jacuzzi tub. Downstairs, the finished basement rounds out the home's story with tile flooring and a newly retiled showed, offering flexible space for a home gym, crafting corner, or a private guest suite. You'll love the basement's bonus bedroom, or playroom, or home office. Laundry room and work bench area are added bonuses. Updates and upgrades include a new main plumbing stack and complete first-floor bathroom plumbing, fixtures, tile, shower door, vanity, toilet, and paint. Outside, the story continues with updated landscaping, a repoured front concrete step, a rebuilt chimney, freshly painted decks, and side steps replaced with durable PVC lumber. Peace of mind upgrades include a new water heater and sump pump, both installed in 2020, along with high-end window treatments throughout - including a convertible blind and privacy shade on the second floor. Location! This home offers easy access to I-90, with O'Hare International Airport just 15 minutes away. Commuters will appreciate a 5-minute walk to the UP-NW Metra line and a 20-minute walk to the CTA Blue Line. Everyday errands are simple with Andy's Deli and Walgreens within walking distance, and neighborhood favorites like Habetler Bowling, Highway House, Elly's, Baked by Jane, Vaughns, and Paterno's just around the corner. Nightlife at Jet's Public House, The Garage Bar, or a nice dinner at Pasta D'arte. For those who love the outdoors, Ted Lechowicz Woods is nearby, offering walking trails, hiking paths, and a peaceful picnic area. This is more than a house. It's a home with room for every version of your story - past, present, and whatever comes next.
