About This Home

As of February 2025

Discover the perfect blend of space, comfort, and versatility in this stunning 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, ideally situated on a RARE double lot in the highly sought-after Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago. This exquisite, move-in ready property exudes warmth and charm from the moment you step inside. The beautifully refinished hardwood floors flow seamlessly through the living and dining areas, leading to three inviting bedrooms on the main floor. Enjoy the convenience of a full bathroom and a generously sized eat-in kitchen, where you can start your day soaking up the morning sun on the expansive, private deck just off the kitchen-perfect for sipping coffee and catching up on the news. The backyard, a true gem, offers endless possibilities for outdoor entertainment and recreation, thanks to the spacious double lot. Venture to the second floor, which features an abundance of living space that can easily accommodate an in-law suite, complete with two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a full kitchen. This level is designed for both privacy and flexibility, accessible via two separate staircases: one from the back deck and another from the side of the house. While this property is zoned for single-family residential use (RS-2), its layout provides a unique two-flat feel, with separate gas and electrical meters for each floor-ideal for extended family living or guest accommodations. The basement is an entertainer's dream, featuring new carpeting, expansive living areas, and a wet bar perfect for football Sundays. You'll also find ample storage, a third full bathroom, and a large utility/laundry room combo, enhancing the home's functionality. With two garages-one accommodating two cars and the other 1.5 cars-you'll have plenty of space for vehicles, hobbies, and additional storage. This turnkey property showcases comprehensive renovations throughout, featuring freshly painted walls and beautifully refinished hardwood floors that add timeless elegance. Your year-round comfort is ensured with brand-new furnaces for the 1st and 2nd floors, a new air conditioning unit for the 1st floor, and a new hot water heater for the 2nd floor - all installed in 2024. All three bathrooms have been transformed into spa-like retreats with designer finishes, including contemporary vanities, stylish mirrors, premium lightning fixtures, and modern plumbing fixtures. Every bathroom renovation was completed in 2024 offering you the perfect blend of classic charm and modern convenience without the need for additional updating. Located just moments from local restaurants, public transit, parks, and shops, this home offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to embrace. Don't miss out on this remarkable opportunity-schedule your showing today!
