Inside, you’ll find gorgeous hardwood floors across two levels, two like-new full bathrooms upstairs, and a sunny 3-season porch with sliding doors that open to a private patio and fully fenced backyard—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The kitchen features a brand-new dishwasher, and the home is filled with natural light thanks to new double-pane windows throughout and two insulated skylights upstairs. Spacious upstairs storage rooms include hidden lighting behind the walls. Major system upgrades include all-new siding on both the home and garage, a brand-new front door with updated locks, new furnace, new A/C, new 50-gallon water heater, high-efficiency Buderus system, and a newly replaced chimney. The basement has been fully improved with new windows, electric baseboard heating, added insulation, foundation waterproofing, an automatic sump pump, and even an electric lift for convenience.
Outside, enjoy a fantastic lawn, blooming flowers throughout the property, freshly poured sidewalks, a newly shingled garage roof, and a newer fenced-in backyard—ideal for pets, gardening, or play. This Highland Park gem is truly move-in ready with exceptional care, updates, and storage throughout. A must-see!
