Nestled on one of Albany Park's most historically significant stretches of Monticello Avenue, this handsome Stucco Arts & Crafts Bungalow sits on an oversized lot within a remarkable enclave of well-preserved early 20th-century homes. Built during Chicago's bungalow boom, the surrounding blocks are prized for their cohesive architectural character, mature tree canopy, generous lot sizes, and strong sense of community. Rich in original character, this 9-room residence showcases beautiful art glass windows, hardwood floors, high ceilings, substantial oak woodwork, and a welcoming living room fireplace. The distinctive kitchen blends vintage country charm with everyday functionality and opens comfortably to the main living spaces. The main level features a living room, heated sun room, a large bedroom, full bath, formal dining room, small rear enclosed three-season office, and a kitchen with adjoining mud room, offering a flexible and functional layout. The second floor includes three bedrooms and one full bath, with two generously sized bedrooms and a third room well suited for a nursery, home office, or guest space. Recent improvements include a new SpacePak central air conditioning system (2025), drain tile and sump pump system with battery back-up , new hot water heater (2026), Whirlpool dishwasher (2025), and new bath exhaust fan. The full unfinished basement offers abundant storage and future potential. Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped fenced-in yard, shady pavers patio, and detached garage. A rare opportunity to own a character-filled Arts & Crafts home with thoughtful updates in one of Albany Park's most distinctive residential pockets.
