About This Home
As of June 2025Experience an inviting sense of warmth and timeless charm in this lovingly cared-for Jefferson Park 4-bed, 3-bath Tudor-style home. From the moment you arrive, the home's quintessential, historic exterior- made entirely of brick -welcomes you, hinting at the character within. Step inside to a gracious living and dining room featuring a decorative fireplace, original woodwork, and charming built-in shelving. Restored hardwood floors and elegant arched doorways add richness. The kitchen was completely remodeled in 2020 and features high-end appliances. At the back of the home, a sun-drenched four-season porch offers peaceful views over a charming deck and the meticulously curated backyard, where a lush living and cutting garden are located. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, and a full bathroom features beautifully preserved original blue tile. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms await, including a large primary suite tucked under the graceful slope of the home's original tapered ceilings. The full bath preserves the beauty of the original tile and features a linen closet, double vanity, and soaking tub. The rear bedroom is enhanced by its garden views. A spacious walk-in closet completes the upper floor, offering ample storage space. The finished lower level features a full bathroom, laundry room, bar, and large work area. The 1.5-car garage was newly built as of 2020. Please get in touch with the listing agent for a list of updates. This home is well-maintained and in excellent condition. A fantastic location! You are near the Jefferson Park CTA and Metra lines, as well as Starbucks, Dunkin', and close to a soon-to-open Trader Joe's.
