2100 Joppa Ave., Zion, IL 60099

Talk about a convenient location... this has got to be it. Are you a warrior for the planet and take public transportation - super easy from here. Need a gallon of milk quick - right across the alley. Walk to dining, shops, ice cream... but enough about that. This neat little ranch sits on a lot that is cleverly fenced on both sides - so you can keep the soccer balls in the side yard, but you don't have the hassle of walking through a gate with an arm load of groceries. Parking area big enough for a monster truck, if you have one, or a dozen little smart cars (maybe that's your thing?). Inside is a model of efficient architectural design. Front door leads to living room - brilliant. And check out the room - couch on that wall, 72" TV on the opposite wall. Coat hook by the door. Done. Living room leads to kitchen... design perfection. Big "eat-in" kitchen - and who doesn't appreciate a short distance from cooktop to tabletop? Check out the hall bath - the window is an easy way to tell if it's day or night, and most baths don't have one. You will. Grow a fern in there because you can (and they like humidity from the shower). Continue your journey down the hall and you discover three bedrooms that are begging to have some beds, dressers, and dirty clothes scattered around them. Nice closets in each. One even has two nice closets, which is double the fun. Full basement is so bright and clean it may inspire you to do something creative. With glue and macaroni or sand and marbles. Who knows. Back outside, if you're thinking the yard isn't quite big enough for baseball, Joanna Park is right across the street. Its got baseball, basketball, tennis or just lots of grass to run across until you feel like throwing up. But don't lose your lunch missing out on this home. There will be plenty of time to play in the park later, now you should simply focus on seeing this home and doing what it takes to make it yours. Yes, you have what it takes. Plus, it's Shirl's Ice Cream down the street. Flavor of the month, shakes, dogs.... need we say more? Sorry, no FHA/VA.
