Property Description
Multiple Offers Received. A classic Chicago bungalow with extraordinary potential in a location that feels tucked away from the city. Situated on an oversized 3,750-square-foot lot, 5037 N Monticello offers a rare opportunity to thoughtfully reimagine a substantial Albany Park residence. The property requires a complete renovation, making it an ideal project for a buyer, developer or investor with the vision to restore its original character while creating a home designed for modern living. The setting is a major part of the appeal. Located on a dead-end block, the home is just steps from Eugene Field Park and the North Branch of the Chicago River. Albany Park is loved for its independent restaurants, international markets and strong neighborhood identity, with convenient access to the Kimball Brown Line, Ravenswood Manor and Lincoln Square. For a buyer prepared to take on a full rehab, 5037 N Monticello is a chance to bring new life to a traditional Chicago bungalow in a uniquely tucked-away location.
