About This Home

As of August 2025

Lovingly maintained Portage Park home available for the first time in nearly 20 years! With living space on four levels, this home is full of light, functionality, and space, not to mention, an extra wide 40' lot for added yard space. The wraparound porch greets you as you enter the home and makes for the perfect place to spend a sunny day and watch the wind play with the leaves on tree-lined Laramie Avenue. Rarely found in homes this age is the open concept living/dining/kitchen space. This home was thoughtfully remodeled in 2006, with extra attention paid to large, square rooms, and removing cramped "old house" hallways to make entertainment and light a priority. The kitchen features granite countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, and includes additional spaces for a study nook or dining, plus a powder room, and sliding doors to a wood deck. The primary bedroom suite is truly unique with vaulted ceilings and skylights, a full wall of windows, two closets with elfa organizers and full en suite bath w/ jacuzzi tub. The second floor is complete with two additional bedrooms, and a full bath. Perched at the top of the house in the attic is the 4th bedroom, which could also be used as a den/office, with tons of knee-wall closet space. Downstairs in the fully finished basement is the rec room with an attached full bath, large finished storage room, laundry, and mudroom with walkout. Enjoy the outdoors with the fenced-in backyard, spacious side yard, and lush landscaping. Situated in the vibrant Old Portage Park neighborhood - walk to Dickinson Park, Portage Park & School, and Six Corners shopping. Enjoy nearby restaurants and nightlife like Eris Brewery, Community Tavern, Portage Grounds, and La Dulce Vita Cucina. Close to the Blue Line, Mayfair Metra Station, and a plethora of CTA buses. This classic home invites you to make it your own while enjoying the best of Portage Park living!
