Ideally located on over a half of an acre on one of the most desirable streets in Villa Park, this diamond in the rough offers endless possibilities to build your dream house, expand the current home or enjoy the historic farmhouse in its current move-in condition!!! The main level has been updated with 2 bedrooms, a home office, family room, recently remodeled bathroom and recently remodeled kitchen (new cabinets, granite, appliances, and subway tiles) within 1,347 SqFt. The above ground basement (an additional 761 SqFt per original appraisal) further supplements the living area of the house with a remodeled studio/mother-in-law apartment (granite counters on the kitchenette and bathroom cabinet, pergo floors and small walk-in closet), bonus room with tile floors (currently used as laundry and storage) and two storage rooms. Both levels (totaling 2,108 SqFt) have crown molding, neutral paint colors and double pane windows with window treatments throughout with central A/C and heat on the main level. Bring your creative palette to this house and property - the 0.57 acre lot has been graded but otherwise it is a blank canvas to design your landscaping vision!
