Discover your new lifestyle in this light and bright, move-in-ready classic brick bungalow in Portage Park! This one is crisp and clean and has been well cared for and updated by the owners. The kitchen was rehabbed down to the studs and subfloor and features 42-inch cabinets, a beautiful subway tile backsplash, all stainless appliances, a massive wall of additional cabinet space, and an oversized sink. Two first-floor bedrooms and a full bath have the flexibility to be used for multi-generational living, craft or fitness room, or work-at-home office space. The living room and dining rooms feature 9 ft ceilings, classic vintage hardwood flooring, and an abundance of large EZ clean tilt-in windows that fill the area with natural light. The basement was renovated to include a rec room, theater room, extra storage and has the space and flexibility to be converted to fit your needs as your family grows. The 2nd floor is highlighted by two more large bedrooms with a full bath and also has the space to be used creatively. Finally, the exterior includes the classic front porch, a big beautiful deck, and a fully fenced yard ready for your kids, your pets, and your summer plans. Come see the rest for yourself and make it yours!
