Property Description
Fully remodeled from top to bottom, this stunning Chicago-style brick bungalow offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern upgrades with 7 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 full kitchens, formal living and dining rooms, a two-car garage, and extra gated parking. The welcoming covered front porch leads into a bright foyer, opening to a spacious living room and dining area with refinished hardwood floors and fresh finishes throughout. The main floor features two large bedrooms, including one with a tandem bonus room perfect for a home office, nursery, gym, or reading nook, while a brand-new spa-like bathroom and a fully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and modern fixtures complete the level. Off the kitchen, an enclosed back porch leads to a beautifully maintained yard with a concrete patio, green space, gardening area, and extra parking. The fully finished basement-with private entrance-offers three more bedrooms, a full second kitchen, a new updated bathroom, and a large living space ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. The second level features two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering flexible living space with cozy charm (note: ceiling height varies slightly due to classic bungalow architecture). Major updates include brand-new kitchens and bathrooms (2023), updated plumbing and electrical systems, newer HVAC, roof, energy-efficient windows, and a custom garage (2018). The main level was meticulously rebuilt with new drywall and insulation for enhanced energy efficiency, ensuring modern comfort alongside historic character. Nestled on a wide, tree-lined street in North Mayfair-a hidden gem with a tight-knit community vibe-this home sits just blocks from parks, top-rated Disney II Magnet School, and the bustling Six Corners shopping district with cafes, breweries, and boutiques. Easy access to the Blue Line, Metra, and I-90 puts downtown 20 minutes away, while nearby North Park and Northeastern Illinois Universities add convenience. With today's high construction costs and renovation delays, this move-in-ready home is a rare opportunity to own a fully finished, high-quality property without the wait-perfect for investors, multigenerational living, or those seeking space and value in the city.
