About This Home

Tucked into a handsome vintage red-brick walk-up in the heart of Portage Park is this designer-renovated exposed-brick one-bedroom. This fully renovated exposed-brick one-bedroom proves that smart design makes the difference. The showpiece is the kitchen - original Chicago common-brick wall paired with crisp white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a vented range hood, designer pendant lighting, and a built-in breakfast bar that's equal parts character and function. You'll find a tastefully updated full bath, a large, sunny living room with great windows, and your own washer and dryer just off the kitchen. The monthly assessment includes heat and water, keeping costs low and predictable, and the well-maintained association offers on-site laundry plus dedicated basement storage. The location is one of the best neighborhoods in Chicago: steps to CTA bus and rail, minutes to I-90/94, and a short stroll to Six Corners shopping and dining, Portage Park, and the neighborhood's best cafes and restaurants. Turnkey and move-in ready - an ideal first home or a polished, low-maintenance addition to an income portfolio. The condo was just completely repainted 8/1/262022. New Boiler, 2025. Bldg: New Water Heater. Sold As-Is. 1- year home warranty provided by the seller.
