About This Home

Welcome home to your beautifully renovated Chicago bungalow, on a 30 foot wide lot, in the heart of Portage Park! This 2017 full gut rehab, including a complete tear-off roof replacement, seamlessly blends modern updates with timeless charm. Step inside to an inviting open-concept living and dining space, where original oak hardwood floors add warmth and character, the perfect space for hosting guests. The chef's kitchen boasts elegant Carrera marble countertops, white shaker cabinetry, and gleaming stainless steel appliances. Just off the kitchen, a thoughtfully designed pantry/coffee bar or play area provides additional storage and square footage. With two bedrooms on the main level, two upstairs, and one in the lower level, this home provides plenty of versatility, while additionally having a full bathroom on every level. The spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and seating nook, while all other bedrooms provide ample space for furniture or office setups. The fully finished basement-complete with a cozy fireplace-offers the ideal setting for gatherings, movie nights, or a home office. It has also been outfitted with updated wastewater lines to keep it clean and dry. Outside, you have a two car detached garage, beautiful landscaping, in a picture perfect setting. This turn-key home is ideal for those looking for more space, more tranquility, while still being in a walkable area that includes Portage Park, the six corners shopping district, and easy access to the expressway. This quintessential Chicago home is ready for its new homeowner.
