Description

Proud to present this stunning and oversized brick bungalow! This Belmont Cragin property has been well loved with its vintage charm perfectly preserved. Original hardwoods throughout, original (never painted) trim, molding, built-ins and doors throughout the home...not to mention the decorative fireplace in the living room...which is a true work of art. Main level offers two large bedrooms and a full, renovated bathroom. The large kitchen features a built-in sprice rack, walk in pantry, built-in stove top into the island and leads nicely to the breakfast area on the back porch. The second level is a show stopper! The dormer has resulted in a mammoth primary suite featuring extremely tall ceilings and a huge primary bathroom with double sinks. Enjoy even more space and storage in the craft room, just beyond the library. You can convert that to a 4th bedroom or use as additional rec space. If you are looking for a spacious home for related living, this would work nicely. The full, finished basement serves as a separate apartment with second kitchen, bedroom and full bathroom. Backyard offers a nice sized deck and 2 car garage. Close to schools, parks, shopping, an restaurants! You have to see this beautiful property to appreciate the space and details throughout.
