About this home
Welcome to 7118 N. Merrimac - a solid 3-bedroom home offering immediate livability with tremendous upside potential, located in a top-rated Wildwood elementary school district and Taft High School with an award winning IB program. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, creating warmth and continuity across the living spaces. The home is move-in ready as-is, while also presenting a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to update and build equity over time. The full unfinished basement is a true blank canvas, ideal for future living space, recreation area, home gym, or workshop. Outside, a large backyard provides ample room for entertaining, gardening, or expansion possibilities. Major mechanical updates include a hot water heater just 2 years old and a newer flood control system for added peace of mind. The property's layout and lot make it an excellent candidate for adding a full second story - a rare opportunity for long-term value growth in the neighborhood. Perfect for homeowners, renovators, or investors seeking a property they can live in now and customize later. Bus stop right up the street drops off at Metra and Jefferson Park Blue Line. Costco, Target & Aldi just a stone's throw away. North Branch Bike Trail connecting to bike routes reaching through the North Shore and downtown Chicago
