About This Home
Beautiful brick bungalow! Welcome yourself home to timeless charm and classic craftsmanship, where vintage character meets modern convenience. The brick bungalow has long been a Chicago icon, and for good reason; sturdy brick construction, functional layout, and epic charm. Conveniently located close to parks, pools, restaurants, Fitzgerald's and Babygold BBQ (IYKYK), shopping, excellent schools, and everything FP/OP/RF/ and Berrrwynnnn have to offer. The classic bungalow home includes historic trim, massive second floor primary bedroom (that can be split into two bedrooms), and partially finished basement. A sunroom/ living area at rear has been added making the floorplan feel sprawling and private. The spacious living and dining rooms glow with natural light, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A large walk-out basement with full bath, good ceiling height, and potential for an additional bedroom, office, and family room allows for spacious everyday living. An oversized-2.5 car garage with an additional exterior spot seal the deal for all your auto, hobby, or storage needs. New water heater and furnace in 2020, AC in 2021. Easy access to Blue Line, 290, downtown OP/ Chicago & South/Western Burbs, truly a commuter's dream.
