Nothing but potential in this solid brick Cape Cod on a private, low-traffic dead-end street-put your finishing touches on or rehab your dream home. Located in the new state-of-the-art Field Elementary district and desirable Sandburg Middle School. Welcoming front foyer opens to a bright living/dining area and kitchen with breakfast peninsula. Three bedrooms, including a large second-floor primary bedroom, plus an updated bath. Enjoy a deck, large patio, nice backyard, and 2.5-car garage. One block to Field Elementary and one mile to downtown Elmhurst. Great opportunity at a great price. Love Elmhurst. Love Local.
