Description

Classic Chicago brick bungalow where timeless charm meets modern design. Offering 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a 2-car detached garage. A welcoming front porch invites you to relax and enjoy sunny afternoons before stepping inside to an open living room featuring hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a striking accent wall that adds character to the formal dining area. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into the beautifully appointed kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and a 42-inch white cabinetry accented with sleek black hardware. The main level includes two spacious bedrooms, one ideal as a home office or guest room, along with a tastefully renovated full bath featuring floor-to-ceiling tile and contemporary chrome finishes. Upstairs, you'll find, a spacious third bedroom, a generous primary suite, and a second full bath with a double vanity, soaking tub, and ceramic tile surround. The finished basement offers versatile living space perfect for a recreation room, fitness area or extended living arrangement. A bonus room provides additional flexibility for a playroom, office, or storage, while a separate utility and laundry room adds everyday convenience. Step outside to a spacious backyard ready for summer barbecues, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors. The property is complete with a 2-car detached garage. Conveniently located near CTA bus service on Stony Island Avenue and 87th Street, with easy access to I-90/94, the Illinois Tollway, and Lake Shore Drive. Enjoy nearby amenities including Jesse Owens Park and the 95th Street shopping district. Call to schedule a showing
