This 2 bedroom 1 bath Portage Park stucco charmer is sure to enchant you. Arched doorways and hardwood floors greet you as you enter. Spy an original stained glass window in the extra-deep front closet. The roomy living room and separate dining room are perfect for entertaining. Storage abounds throughout this home. Delightful mirrored built-ins grace the primary bedroom, offering you many wardrobe options. That bedroom grants access to the full, unfinished attic with its promising possibilities for expansion. The sweet second bedroom is down the hall from the bathroom which has a pleasing tub/shower combination. The bright, welcoming kitchen has plentiful cabinetry which rises to the 9' ceiling. An adjacent room allows plenty of space for an eat-in area, mudroom or den. The full, unfinished basement (which boasts glass block windows) has unlimited potential. The lone toilet that perches down there is the beginning of an eventual additional bathroom. It's steps away from a dual basin utility sink. Relax on the generous back deck which is shaded by a majestic maple tree. Delight in the backyard's low-maintenance astro turf and 2 car garage. Replacement windows and newer security doors add to the appeal of this home. It's only blocks from beautiful Portage Park and happily in the midst of the neighborhood's best dining, entertainment and transportation options. Well-loved by this owner for over 30 years, this darling home is now waiting for you. Welcome home! Property sold "As Is".
