The upstairs master suite has a vaulted ceiling and ensuite bath with jetted tub, shower, walk-in closet, and balcony with phantom screens overlooking the swimming pool. An additional three bedrooms and game room are upstairs. In back, find a pool and spa, covered patio, built-in grill, and turf on the side of the house.

CORNER LOT PARK FOREST RENOVATED HOUSE WITH $150K RENOVATION
Open house: Sunday, Sept. 16, 1-4 p.m.
The Park Forest house at 3605 Weeburn Dr. sits on a corner lot near Forest and Marsh lanes and has just undergone a $150K renovation. It is a sight to behold now, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, two dining areas, and 2,110 square feet on one story, built in 1959 and sitting on 0.3 acres.
The curb appeal is on point, with painted brick, landscaping, and a contemporary front door. Inside, find hardwood floors, recessed lights, fresh paint, big windows, and a partially open floorplan that offers both flow and a sense of purpose for each space. In the back living area, which is open to the kitchen, a brick facade fireplace anchors the room. In the kitchen, you’ll be impressed by a large breakfast bar with waterfall edges, flat-front gray cabinets, sleek hardware, and stainless steel appliances, including a gas range. All the bedrooms have higher-end carpeting and the master bedroom’s ensuite bath impresses with designer tile treatments, quartz countertops, dual sinks, and an oversized walk-in shower with frameless glass and a tiled nook. In back, there is a new wood deck, a privacy fence, and plenty of grassy green space.
