Property Description
If you're dreaming of a fully renovated home with a massive yard, without leaving the city, look no further! Located on an extra-wide 37' lot on a quiet street in Portage Park, this beautifully updated home offers space, style, and modern updates at every turn. The sun-filled main level features an open-concept living and dining area with gleaming hardwood floors, leading into a stunning chef's kitchen with quartz countertops, herringbone tile backsplash, an oversized island with outlets on both ends, and a walk-in pantry. Let the outdoors in with double glass doors that lead to your 19' x 10' deck, an ideal spot for barbecues, morning coffee, or hosting friends and family. Two spacious bedrooms and a full bath on the main level make ideal guest rooms, in-law space, or offices. Upstairs, the serene primary suite boasts cathedral ceilings with wood beams, skylights, a thoughtfully designed custom walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with quartz counters, penny tile floors, and an oversized glass shower accented by elegant brass hardware. Another sun-filled bedroom features a skylight, professionally built out closet, and a beautifully renovated full bath with a soaking tub complete the second level. In the basement, you will find a huge laundry room with side-by-side washer/dryer and generous storage space, a family room perfect for movie nights, and an additional space ideal for a home gym, office space, or playroom. This level also features a huge refinished crawl space for added storage. The oversized backyard is fully enclosed with premium 6' white vinyl privacy fencing and includes an elevated patio, a large grassy area with lush mature trees to one side, a custom dog run side-yard complete with river rocks, a detached 2-car garage, and an added concrete carport. Enjoy a 2-car garage with storage potential and the gated carport that could either be used as an extra parking space, a bonfire area, or as the perfect sports court! This backyard oasis offers plenty of opportunity to continue making it your own. With a new roof, skylights, HVAC, washer/dryer, and so much more, this home is completely move-in ready. Prime location near Dunning Square, Ridgemoor Country Club, and multiple parks, including Dunnham Park, which offers a playground, tennis courts, and multiple fields. Commuters will love the easy access to CTA, the Blue Line, the Kennedy Expressway, and ample free street parking.
