Welcome home to Big Oaks! Nestled on an oversized lot in Norwood Park's sought-after Big Oaks neighborhood, this move-in ready 3-bed, 2-bath home checks every box. The main level features a sun-filled living and dining room, gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, and recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen was remodeled in 2021 with stainless steel appliances, quartz counters, a breakfast bar, and a pantry - plus custom dining room built-ins with a wine fridge. A flexible third bedroom off the living room is perfect as a home office or guest space, and a full bath completes this level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite impresses with a walk-in closet and seating area, joined by a large second bedroom and updated hall bath. Out back, enjoy a spacious yard, patio, and a two-car garage with abundant storage. Major systems are all recently updated: new HVAC (2024), exterior doors (2024), garage door (2023), and hot water heater (2021) - offering true peace of mind for years to come.
