    What's special

    Welcome to this stunning, fully rehabbed 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath bungalow located on a prime corner lot in the highly sought-after Portage Park neighborhood. This home beautifully blends classic charm with modern luxury, offering a spacious and thoughtfully designed layout that's perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. As you step inside the original front door into the foyer, you'll be taken by the grand formal living room with original stained-glass bay windows and a beautifully restored decorative fireplace with the original mantle. A separate formal dining room offers an ideal space for meals, while the adjacent additional family room provides more room to gather and relax. For added convenience, you'll find a first-floor bedroom and a full bathroom, making this level perfect for guests or multi-generational living. As you move towards the rear of the home, you'll be greeted by the massive kitchen, complete with sleek espresso cabinets, elegant quartz countertops, green subway tile backsplash and a convenient breakfast bar. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, making it a dream for any home chef. Adjacent to the kitchen is a flex space to be used as a den, breakfast nook, or home office to suit your needs. You'll also find built in mudroom for extra storage and a spot to take off boots or flip flops. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The primary bedroom is filled with natural light and includes ample closet space. The finished lower level offers a rec room, a bedroom, a full bathroom with walk-in shower, a laundry room with a utility sink and plenty of storage space. The home's architectural beauty is highlighted by the preservation of the gorgeous cement tile roof, which has been carefully maintained, while a new skylight has been added to bring natural light to the third floor. New windows (with the exception of the architecturally significant front windows) throughout enhance the home's energy efficiency, The property also boasts all-new plumbing, electric, a new copper water service, and dual-zoned HVAC to ensure comfort year-round. This home combines the best of both worlds - vintage charm with modern upgrades - and is truly one of a kind. Located in one of the best pockets of Portage Park, 2 blocks to the park, minutes from 6 corners and easy access to the highway. Don't miss your chance to call this Portage Park gem your own!
