Fresh, light-filled split level (true back-split) in a quiet Hazel Crest pocket where a ranch facade surprises with two stacked levels of living inside. The main level opens to a long, sunlit living/dining space with neutral paint and durable flooring, flowing into an eat-in kitchen with extensive cabinet storage, tile backsplash, and direct access to the yard.    Up a half-flight are three comfortable bedrooms with generous closets and a crisp hall bath. Down a half-flight, the oversized rec room is ideal for movie nights or play space, served by a stylish full bath with walk-in shower. A handy powder room on the main level keeps everyday living easy.    Outside, enjoy a broad patio shaded by mature trees and a wide lawn great for gatherings, gardening, or a weekend playset. An attached 2-car garage and an extra-deep driveway provide ample parking.    Practical perks include vinyl windows, central A/C, and a bright laundry/utility zone with extra storage. Convenient location near Hazel Crest Metra, quick access to I-57/294/80, and close to parks, and everyday shopping. Move-in ready with room to make it your own.
