About This Home

Charming, updated farmhouse on an extra-wide lot in Jefferson Park! This inviting home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. A lovely front porch welcomes you inside to a sunlit living room and spacious dining room featuring an original built-in hutch, flowing seamlessly into the stunning renovated kitchen. The kitchen is beautifully designed with striking white and navy cabinetry, quartz countertops with peninsula seating, a white tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a French door refrigerator. The main level also offers a bedroom with built-in bookshelves and a newly renovated full bathroom, plus an enclosed back porch that's perfect for a mudroom, home office, or cozy sitting area. Upstairs you'll find a spacious primary bedroom with skylight, a third bedroom, walk-in closet, and another newer full bathroom with walk-in shower and convenient washer/dryer. The full unfinished basement offers abundant storage and second washer/dryer. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced patio and expansive, private side yard, plus a two-car garage and additional parking pad. Fantastic location close to Roberts Square Park, Beaubien Elementary, neighborhood favorites like Gale Street Inn and Elly's Brunch & Cafe, the Blue Line CTA, Metra, and I-90/I-94. Recent improvements: kitchen renovation and appliances, upstairs laundry (2023), garage roof, soffits and gutters (2021), furnace and A/C (2019), and tear-off roof, addition of second-floor full bath and renovation of first-floor full bath (2015).
