A Storybook 4 bedroom, 2 bath brick bungalow with a 1 car garage and side driveway, perfectly situated in the heart of Norwood Park on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Chicago's most coveted neighborhoods, this lovingly maintained brick bungalow offers the ideal blend of timeless charm and modern convenience. Just a short walk to the Blue Line and minutes from I-90, commuting is a breeze in this family-friendly pocket of Norwood Park. The main level has hardwood floors throughout, a sunlit formal living and dining room, and an expansive eat-in kitchen complete with brand new refrigerator and dishwasher and all stainless steel appliances along with two generous pantries. Enjoy cozy movie nights in the main floor family room, already wired for surround sound. Upstairs, a sitting room with 2 walk-in closets and a separate bedroom with plenty of storage and flexibility for guests, hobbies, or work-from-home setups. The full finished basement with epoxy floors adds incredible value with a bedroom and an enormous one of a kind walk in closet and newly renovated bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower, separate utility area and storage as well as laundry room and adjoining work room area leading to the dry cement crawl space and exterior egress to the backyard. Newer electrical service and newer mechanicals. Whether you envision a rec room, home gym, or extra living space-there's room to make it your own. Step outside to your private urban oasis: composite deck and a tranquil paver patio retreat with a pool and a fully fenced backyard, and space to relax, play, or entertain all year round. Located near public and private schools, Resurrection Hospital, local shops, parks, and all the best of Northwest Chicago, this home truly checks every box. Garage As-Is. Approved for New Windows & Doors through RSIP O'Hare Phase 19A - new buyer to pick out style & color.
