About This Home
As of July 2025Light, space, and soul converge on 34th Place-a rare, oversized Bridgeport single-family home designed to impress and built to last. Nestled on an extra-wide lot, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath stunner pairs thoughtful updates with timeless style, offering a turnkey oasis just moments from Pilsen and Chinatown. Walk up to your gated oasis with the most charming NEWLY designed front porch to enjoy the elements and city vibrancy. Step inside and feel the difference-natural light pours through oversized sliding glass doors, drawing you to the lush backyard retreat with a custom Trex deck, perfect for spring blooms and summer nights. Inside, the layout unfolds with seamless flow, leading to a designer-renovated kitchen that's truly the heart of the home. Reimagined in 2020, it features custom cabinetry, porcelain countertops, a new sink and faucet, bespoke pendant lighting from Finland, and a unique backsplash that anchors the space in character and charm. Entertain with ease in the expansive great room, complete with a built-in banquette and gas fireplace.

This level also offers two additional bedrooms with big windows and custom closets. Every inch of this home has been elevated-from the curated light fixtures and extensive custom storage, to a built-in mudroom and new double ovens and more. Storage is the name of the game at this address with an abundance of it at every turn-including a walk-in kitchen pantry. All updates have been carefully curated to offer a unique perspective with a comfortable space to call your own. The finished lower level offers additional living space for guests, work, or play. And outside, the landscaped yard, pressure-washed decks, and detached two-car garage round out this rare city sanctuary. Tucked on a quiet block in one of Chicago's most dynamic neighborhoods, this home delivers space, sophistication, and soul-wrapped in warmth and ready for its next chapter. Fabulous walk score - short distance to Sox Park, Armour Elementary, awesome culinary experiences, cute coffee shops, Richard Daly Library, parks, pubs, transit and more!
