About this House

Completely redesigned and reimagined 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath bungalow on an oversized lot on a great tree lined street in the heart of Portage Park. Originally intended to be a forever home, the current owners thoughtfully gutted this home down to the studs and rebuilt it from the ground up with a level of care, quality, and attention to detail that is rarely found in today's market. Life plans changed, but the result is an exceptional home that benefits from countless upgrades and design choices made for long-term living-not resale. Flooded with natural light and finished with timeless, high-end selections throughout, the main level offers an inviting living room, dining room, expansive eat-in kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and a beautifully appointed full bath. Upstairs, the incredible primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring an oversized bedroom, organized walk-in closet, built-in vanity area, and a spa-like bath complete with a Japanese soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanity. A generous second bedroom and full bath complete the level, with the flexibility to divide the bedroom into two rooms if desired. The lower level is equally impressive, offering a spacious laundry room with a dedicated dog-washing station, powder room, and an expansive recreation space with a full bar-perfect for entertaining, movie nights, game days, and gathering with friends and family. Outside, every inch of the property has been maximized with a welcoming front porch, rear deck, paver patio, and a fully outfitted garage that adds even more functionality to this special home. And the location? Just blocks from Portage Park itself-one of Chicago's most beloved neighborhood parks-featuring pools, athletic fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, walking paths, seasonal events, and year-round community programming. Combined with the neighborhood's charming tree-lined streets, local restaurants, coffee shops, and convenient access to transportation, it's easy to see why Portage Park continues to be one of the Northwest Side's most sought-after neighborhoods. A truly special home where thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unbeatable location come together.
