About This Home

This darling, turn-key brick bungalow sits just three blocks from Portage Park, has updates galore and offers multiple generational living options in style and comfort! The main level features hardwood floors throughout, a spacious living room with picture windows, a separate dining room, a full bath, and two bedrooms in addition to a tandem space, offering several flexible sleeping, playing and/or work-from-home options. The recently remodeled kitchen (2023) is the star of the show, with all-new stainless steel appliances, white subway tile, quartz counters, a farm sink, gorgeous cabinetry, a stainless steel hood and refinished honey maple hardwood floors. Upstairs, a large primary suite with an enormous walk-in closet, complete with custom closet systems (2020), is joined by a second bedroom and a shared full bath, all with new neutral carpeting (2026). The walk out basement adds two more bedrooms, a remodeled full bath (2017), a second kitchen(!), plus a spacious family room with recessed lighting (2017), making it an ideal space for extended family, guests, exercising, entertaining or flexible living. Major systems are done: NTI high-efficiency boiler (2017), Unico high-velocity central air (2017), 200-amp electric (2017), new water heater (2017), and new radiators on the main level (2023). The laundry room is updated, and a new washing machine was added in 2026. Outside, enjoy new insulated siding (2024), newer gutters (2017), a fully fenced yard (2018), professional landscaping with exterior lighting, and a concrete walking path in the backyard (2022) leading to the 2 car garage. Nearby Portage Park has everything from pickleball and tennis courts, to lush landscaping and nature paths, an ADA accessible playground, bike paths, baseball, football/soccer fields, dog friendly areas, youth programming, a senior center and an Olympic sized pool! So much to love and so much versatility...all you need to do is move in and enjoy!
