## Description

### Agent Description
This 4-bedroom, 3-bath split-level with basement is located in the established Kuntze's High Ridge Knolls neighborhood of Des Plaines and offers a great opportunity for buyers looking to renovate, update, or customize a home to their own vision. The main level features spacious living and dining areas with a functional layout ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is filled with natural light from a skylight and includes a double oven, ample counter space, and an eat-in area that opens to the dining room. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level offers added flexibility with a cozy family room featuring terrazzo flooring, a quartz stone fireplace, a bathroom with shower, and patio doors leading to the backyard. Just a half flight down, the basement provides additional living space that can serve as a recreation room, fourth bedroom, home office, or guest area, along with another full bath. Situated on a nicely sized lot with an attached garage, the backyard includes a framed garden bed ready for this year's planting and arbors to hold your vines. Conveniently located near parks, schools, shopping, dining, expressways, and O'Hare International Airport. This is an estate sale and the property is being sold strictly as-is.
