About this home
Back on the market through no fault of the property! Nestled in a serene pocket of Des Plaines, 196 Grove Ave B strikes the perfect balance between quiet suburban bliss and urban accessibility. The bright, open living and dining area features fresh neutral paint and plush carpeting, all centered around a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace with custom built-in shelving. Sliding glass doors open directly to your private, covered patio. The eat-in kitchen includes generous cabinet and counter space, a breakfast nook, and a greenhouse-style garden window that adds light and character. The oversized primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and a private dressing vanity connected to the full bathroom, while down the hall, the second bedroom offers a similarly generous footprint. A dedicated laundry/utility room adds everyday convenience, and the home includes a secure attached one-car garage with direct access through the building's main corridor, alongside a private storage room. The location brings together quiet outdoor recreation and easy regional access. Nature is right outside your door with access to Sesquicentennial Park, Big Bend Lake, surrounding forest preserves, and the Des Plaines River Trail system, while downtown Des Plaines' dining, shopping, and community events are all just minutes away. I-294, I-90, and O'Hare Airport are all a short drive from home, and the downtown Metra station is an easy walk. This home combines single-floor living, plenty of natural light, garage parking, extra storage, and private outdoor space, all within easy reach of everything Des Plaines has to offer.
