Charming, coveted Albany Park bungalow next to Eugene Field! This home is the perfect mix of vintage and modern. The owners have preserved much of the original woodwork, stained glass, fixtures, built-ins, and classic Chicago architecture, while updating the kitchen to include new (2023), environmentally-conscious electric appliances and electric washer/dryer in the basement. Finish the basement and attic for instant equity! The backyard fence was installed in 2022, and the front and back were landscaped just prior to listing. Great starter, empty-nester, or investor property. The home is nestled on a peaceful dead end street that ends at Eugene Field, The North Branch Chicago River, a community park, and a community garden. Walkable to North Park and Northeastern Illinois Universities, Gompers Park, LaBagh Woods, public transportation, grocers, markets, shops, and Albany Park's burgeoning restaurant scene.
