About This Home
Looking for More Style, More Yard, and More Value? This classic brick bungalow on a rare 40-foot-wide lot in Portage Park delivers exactly that! This home blends timeless Chicago character with thoughtful updates, highlighted by a fully remodeled kitchen (2022) featuring sleek black cabinetry, white quartz countertops, modern hardware, and a clean, contemporary design that anchors the heart of the home. The main level offers a comfortable and functional layout with two bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with a custom walk-in closet (2022)-a rare and highly desirable feature for a bungalow. Downstairs, the partially finished basement expands your living space with a cozy family room and dedicated office area (2022), ideal for today's flexible, work-from-home lifestyle. Major improvements have already been completed for peace of mind, including electrical rewiring and panel upgrade (2022), copper plumbing (2022), overhead sewer system (2022), sump pump (2023), and a new HVAC system and condenser (2023)-the kind of big-ticket updates buyers hope for but rarely find all in one home. Step outside and experience one of this home's most standout features-the oversized 40-foot lot, offering a wide, sun-filled yard perfect for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying a level of outdoor space that's hard to find in the city. A 2-car garage completes the package. Additional updates include refinished hardwood floors (2023) and newer appliances including washer, dryer, dishwasher, gas range, and refrigerator (2021). Located near Portage Park, Dunham Park, Wright College, shopping, and CTA buses, this home offers the perfect blend of neighborhood charm, convenience, and long-term value.
