About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to this beautifully reimagined contemporary Chicago home in the heart of Portage Park. Originally a classic bungalow, this residence has been graciously expanded with a full second story addition and a finished lower level. A perfect layout for modern city living with 5 bedrooms, an additional versatile room for an office or creative space, and 3.5 baths. Step past the brick pillars at the front door and enjoy an open floor plan with hardwood floors and draped custom window treatments. Moving through the main floor, you are greeted by the newly renovated kitchen featuring opulent lighting fixtures, sleek cabinetry, granite countertops and premium stainless steel appliances. A space ideal for everyday meals and entertaining guests. Upstairs, take in the primary suite with architectural built-ins leading to ample walk-in closet space and a double vanity en-suite bath. Enjoy alfresco dining on the attached deck, fully designed with locally crafted wooden benches that blend style and functionality. Tailored privacy screens create a secluded atmosphere. This outdoor haven invites long conversations, morning coffees, and weekend BBQs. From there, walk into the fully fenced yard leading to a 2-car detached garage, complemented by an additional carport for a third vehicle or flexible use. For added protection and peace of mind, home comes equipped with a comprehensive security system including the addition of seven wired external IP cameras. Homeowners have meticulously maintained every corner of this home. A true gem located just steps away from Portage Park, Target, Jewel, Aldi, cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops. Also conveniently located near public transportation and the Kennedy expressway.
