Nestled in the heart of Forest Glen, one of Chicago's most sought-after neighborhoods, this remarkable giant brick bungalow was well maintained by the prior homeowners for over 50 years, and presents a great opportunity for the next owner in an area where listings are rarely available. This home has great hardwood floors throughout, a sun-drenched living room, oversized dining room, and 3 huge bedrooms! Although the kitchen is dated, the cabinetry's original craftsmanship adds irreplaceable character to the home. The expansive basement provides endless possibilities, ideal for storage, recreation, or creating your own custom space to suit your lifestyle. The basement also features an in-law style kitchen, offering flexibility and convenience for extended family members, guests, or creating a dedicated space for cooking/baking. A thoughtful addition to the rear of the home provides even more room for living and entertaining, ensuring you have plenty of space to host gatherings or simply unwind. Garage is newer, built in 2018 including updated electrical and foundation. Don't miss your chance to make this stunning brick bungalow your own and experience the best of city living in Forest Glen.
