About This Home
As of June 2025This fully rehabbed classic Chicago bungalow at 5301 W Berteau offers the perfect balance of timeless charm and modern luxury. Located in the heart of Portage Park, this home has been thoughtfully renovated to preserve its original character while introducing top-to-bottom updates that elevate everyday living. From the curb, you'll appreciate the classic brick exterior and welcoming front porch, but it's inside where the transformation truly shines. Step into a bright and open layout featuring a spacious living and dining area that flows seamlessly into the show-stopping kitchen. Designed with both form and function in mind, the oversized kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, expansive quartz countertops, a large center island, and all new stainless steel appliances-ideal for home chefs and entertainers alike. One of the standout features is the gorgeous first-floor primary suite, which offers a peaceful retreat with a large bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bathroom complete with double vanities, a walk-in shower, and designer finishes. Upstairs and downstairs, you'll find additional flexible living space perfect for bedrooms, office setups, or guest accommodations. All major systems-plumbing, electrical, roof and water heater-have been recently updated, giving you peace of mind for years to come. Situated just steps from the heart of Portage Park, you'll be within walking distance of the park itself-offering a pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, and weekly farmers markets-as well as nearby shopping, restaurants, and excellent transportation options including Metra and the Blue Line. Portage Park is one of Chicago's most beloved neighborhoods, known for its strong sense of community, historic architecture, and proximity to downtown while still offering a more relaxed, residential feel. This is more than just a home-it's a complete lifestyle upgrade in one of the city's most welcoming and vibrant areas.
