About This Home
As of January 2026Prepare to fall in love with this artfully updated brick bungalow-the perfect blend of classic charm and modern style. Warmth and livability shine throughout thanks to tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and incredible natural light pouring through the home's large windows. Thoughtful details like 9' ceilings, crown molding, and 6" trim pair seamlessly with the beautifully updated kitchen and baths, carefully selected light fixtures, and uplifting design touches. The charming entryway opens into bright, open-concept living and dining rooms that feel both welcoming and spacious. The stunning kitchen features custom cabinetry, beautiful quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and space for a small table or workspace. Two generous main-floor bedrooms with ample closet space share a beautifully updated full bath. The upstairs primary suite is a true retreat-luxuriously spacious with a gorgeous full bathroom, an enormous walk-in closet, and an additional bonus room. The full basement has been professionally waterproofed and is ready for your finishing ideas. Step outside to a spectacular fenced backyard with an expansive deck and adjacent patio, located just off the kitchen-ideal for relaxing or entertaining. This home underwent a complete gut renovation and rebuild in 2016, including plumbing and electrical. Recent improvements include fresh paint, new light fixtures, new oven/range (2025), new dishwasher (2025) and new microwave (2025). A UV filter has also been added to the furnace. A two-car garage is easily accessed from the alley. Convenient location right across from Maple Park. Close to restaurants and shopping, with quick access to the CTA Blue Line and the expressway. Welcome home!
