Property Description
Welcome to 3108 N 78th Avenue - a beautifully reimagined, fully renovated classic brick bungalow in the heart of Elmwood Park. Taken down to the brick and rebuilt in 2017, this 4 bed, 3 bath home blends timeless charm with smart, thoughtful upgrades throughout. Every major system was redone: plumbing, electric, windows, dual-zone HVAC, kitchen, baths, plus a reconfigured floor plan with a relocated front staircase to maximize flow and functionality. Step inside to a bright main level featuring a spacious living room, a sleek modern kitchen, a full bath, and a highly desirable main-floor bedroom perfect for guests or home office flexibility. Upstairs you'll find two generous bedrooms; primary with beautifully updated en-suite full bath. The fully finished basement expands your lifestyle with a large recreation/living area, a private bedroom, a full bath, a dedicated laundry room with sink and extra refrigerator, and 2 massive storage rooms rarely found in homes of this era. Outside, enjoy a newly built Trex deck with a pergola & sun shade, and a yard ready for summer nights and effortless entertaining. Additional highlights include: new fridge and dishwasher (2024), whole-home sound wiring, fiber plus Cat5/Cat6e wiring, overhead sewer with check valve, and a turnkey renovation that takes all the heavy lifting off your plate. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined block just steps from Elmwood Park's beloved restaurant row, top-rated local parks, and the Metra station. Minutes to grocery stores, coffee shops, the library, the new Elmwood Park Community Center, and the village's year-round events. Easy access to Harlem, North Ave, and 90 for quick commutes in all directions. This is the rare Elmwood Park bungalow that delivers space, quality, modern updates, and a walkable lifestyle. Come see it for yourself.
