Property Description
Beautifully expanded, completely reimagined, and rebuilt with an attention to quality rarely found in a renovation, this exceptional 5 bedroom, 4 full bath home sits on an oversized Chicago lot and delivers the space and finishes of new construction in the highly sought after and established Portage Park neighborhood. From the moment you walk in, you'll notice how natural light floods the home. Beautiful hardwood flooring, today's modern color palette, and a thoughtful open layout create a bright, sophisticated feel throughout. The large living room flows seamlessly into the dining room and into the heart of the home, an incredible kitchen completely reimagined by an interior designer. Designed to be as functional as it is beautiful, the kitchen features top of the line Bosch appliances, custom cabinetry, stunning quartz countertops, an oversized center island big enough to seat 5, and an abundance of storage! Just beyond the kitchen is a bonus sitting/overflow room, creating even more space for guests to gather. Whether you're hosting a holiday, entertaining friends, or simply spending a night at home, this entire level was designed for bringing people together. Continue through the mudroom, where sliding glass doors open directly to the large backyard, effortlessly extending the entertaining space outdoors. The main level also offers something increasingly hard to find: a bedroom paired with a beautifully finished full bathroom, creating an ideal in-law arrangement or home office. The bathroom features custom tilework and premium Kohler fixtures. Upstairs, you'll find two additional spacious bedrooms, a beautifully appointed hall bathroom with a tub, and an impressive primary suite that feels like its own private retreat! The primary offers a custom finished walk-in closet and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom designed to make everyday life feel a little more luxurious. The oversized walk-in shower features a his-and-hers area along with a freestanding tub. Lastly, a spacious laundry room finishes off the second floor. And the living space doesn't stop there. The finished lower level is an entertainer's dream of its own, anchored by an incredible 22' x 33' family room and custom wet bar. The home's fifth bedroom is located on this level and includes its own walk-in closet, plus the fourth full bathroom nearby, creating another flexible space for guests, extended family, or a home gym. But what truly sets this home apart is everything you DON'T immediately see. This wasn't a surface level renovation. The home was rebuilt from the inside out with all-new plumbing, a new 1.5-inch water service, new 200-amp electrical service, basement drain tile system, blown-in insulation, all-new mechanicals and ductwork, new windows, new doors and durable Hardie board siding. Two furnaces and two central air conditioning systems provide zoned comfort throughout the expanded home, while a 70-gallon water heater was selected with a household of this size in mind. From Bosch appliances to Kohler fixtures, quality was considered at every level. And then there's the location. Set on a residential street near the heart of Portage Park, you're surrounded by the neighborhood character that makes Chicago's Northwest Side so desirable while remaining close to the conveniences of city living. Enjoy nearby Portage Park with its expansive green space, swimming, tennis, playgrounds, and recreation, along with the shopping, dining, and continued revitalization surrounding Six Corners. Everyday conveniences, neighborhood restaurants, public transportation, and major roadways are all within easy reach.
