4816 W 121st Place

Bigger than the numbers suggest. This split-level offers over 1,800 square feet of finished living space across three levels, and that figure does not include the finished sub-basement. Public records show only 1,321 square feet because they leave out the lower level, which sits partly below grade, and that level is where much of the living happens. The main level is anchored by a kitchen remodeled in 2018, with custom maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and a tiled backsplash, plus luxury vinyl plank flooring added in 2020. A short flight up, three bright bedrooms share a full bath with a deep soaking tub and double vanity. Down a level, the house opens up. A large family room with a gas fireplace and brand-new carpet, installed just before listing, is the natural spot for movie nights or a full house on the holidays. Alongside it, a sizable bonus room works as a guest room, office, or play space, and a 3/4 bath with walk-in shower means guests never have to head upstairs. This level also connects directly to the attached garage, so groceries and winter boots come straight in. One more level down, the finished sub-basement is made for entertaining. A large custom-built bar with its own sink seats several guests, and the billiards area is anchored by a slate pool table. Game nights, watch parties, and get-togethers have a dedicated home here, well away from the bedrooms. Out back, vinyl privacy fencing frames a generous deck under a pergola, with a grill tied into the home's natural gas line, so there are no propane tanks to swap. The big-ticket items are already done: roof, gutters, siding, and most windows replaced in 2018, and a water heater in 2020. Central air throughout. The location is central and convenient. I-294 is only minutes away for commuting in any direction. Sprayfari Aquatic Park and the Apollo Recreation Center are close by, and the Alsip-Merrionette Park Public Library is a short drive. Updated, roomy, and ready for its next owner.
