MOTIVATED SELLER!!! Don't bypass this charming 3 bedroom, 1-3/4 bath tri-level in the city of Highland and part of the Highland School District, but prepared to move quick and put your best foot forward because finding a home like this, that is fully livable now PLUS a garage in town IN THIS DESIRABLE NEIGHBORHOOD is a RARE find under 300K. Seller is relocating and had lived and loved the home for, well near forever but just too much space and stairs for her now. FHA is welcome but sellers are not remodeling, beautifying or able to do updates at this pricing so they reflected it in an aggressive offering. Close to shopping centers and restaurants being just minutes from US-41. Conveniently located close enough to I-94 for those traveling to the City for work, but far enough away to not hear the hustle and bustle of traffic. PLUS a savvy Buyer/agent can tap the down payment assistance programs through the IHCDA and Lake County Grants making your entry near or at ZERO into this home. Although dated decor (show me a 65 year old that doesn't need some help) it was built when homes where really BUILT in the mid 50's & 60's and not the tract homes present in town from the 70's+. MOVE IN READY and a clean slate to add your own personal flair. Great expandable buffer space on lower level with a bonus room that's can be used as a play room, office space, crafting room or second living space every family needs ---options are endless here but your chance to make it home only comes once. Need more? Peace of mind plus appliance package is included as the seller is gifting the new owner with a 1 year complimentary Home Warranty from APHW; excludes dryer. Refreshed kitchen and front room were completed in 2022. Crawl space entrance is on lower level with TONS of storage space and is all concrete floor. Detached 2-car garage with storage shed behind to store overflow items. A few touch ups needed to make this house your HOME for many years to come!
