Finally! A charming and updated octagonal bungalow on a quiet tree-lined street! This home is truly a special place with nothing to do but move in. Located on a 30' wide lot this home exudes character and warmth from every room. From the foyer entry, you will love walking into the living room with its decorative stone fireplace surrounded by original wood built-in cabinets, crown moldings, and the stained-glass windows. An arched wall opening leads into the large dining room, while the kitchen exudes positive vibes with its vintage style cabinets, granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, and eat-in table space. Off the kitchen is a mud-room entry as you come in from the 2-car garage and beautiful back yard with pear tree, grass area, and pad for dining or entertaining. The primary bedroom and 2nd bedroom share a completely gutted and updated bathroom with heated floors, newer tub/shower surround tiles & niche shelving, penny tile floors, and pedestal sink. Off the primary bedroom is a back sunroom which creates the perfect home office space or sitting area. From the reconfigured center staircase off the dining room, you access the 3rd and 4th bedrooms upstairs where added skylights punctuate the front bedroom with additional natural light. The open basement is a perfect space for a family room with its good ceiling height and mechanicals located off to the side. An updated full bathroom with new flooring, vanity and paint is located down here. Newer tear off roof & skylights (2008); majority of home rewired & newer electric panel (2006); majority of pipes replaced (2021); newer boiler (2018); newer water heater (2017); recent tuckpointing (2021); many windows replaced (2014) & more. Easy access to the forest preserves & bike path, the El (Jefferson Park Blue Line) and Metra (Forest Glen Metra MD-N & Gladstone Park Metra UP-NW) & expressway. Bring your apple cider - this is the home you want to see!
