About This Home

As of January 2024

Wishing you could enjoy New Years Eve with friends and family in your 'forever' Portage Park home? 5940 Giddings was just completed so grab the bubbly and send out those party invites! This fully permitted sophisticated rehab has been stylishly updated while retaining the vintage details wherever possible. Walking through the home, you appreciate the refurbished vintage doors with original knobs, the crown moldings and baseboards and the classic built-in room divider between the formal living and dining room. Freshly refinished hardwood floors, new designer light fixtures plus a neutral palette welcome you at the front door. Great sun-filled bungalow flow with two well-sized first floor bedrooms and an adjacent new full luxurious bathroom. The larger first floor bedroom can easily classify as the primary bedroom with the spacious new large walk-in closet. When you enter the top of the line kitchen you discover the custom classic white soft-close cabinets, Samsung smart appliances, dramatic black quartz countertops and island, and oversized farmhouse sink. A handy breakfast room and mud room lead to the sliding glass doors and out to the freshly painted deck. The second level has plenty of headroom; at the top of the stairs is an open loft space, ideal as office, play or exercise area. Two more spacious bedrooms with plenty of closet space and another new full luxury bathroom. The lower level has been completely finished with an open urban feel, luxury vinyl flooring with an upgraded moisture seal underlay. The family room is incredibly large and flexible and includes a new half bath plus a bonus room for dedicated office or gym area. Brand new hvac and new water heater. Roof was replaced in 2013 and windows are newer. This oversized lot has a two car garage plus an additional attached one car garage that has been used as a workshop and studio. Public transportation is a breeze - 3 minute drive to Jefferson Park Blue Line and 3 minute drive to Gladstone Park Metra plus plenty of buses. Easy access to schools, restaurants, stores and parks. Great value and size for an affordable price. Thanks for wishing! It's here and ready right now!
