Spacious, versatile, and designed for real everyday living, this 3,000+ square foot brick bungalow in West Garfield Park delivers the size, layout, and upgrades families are searching for. Featuring 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this home offers incredible flexibility for growing households, work-from-home setups, guest accommodations, or multi-generational living. The main level showcases hardwood floors, generous living and dining spaces built for gathering, and a bright kitchen outfitted with new stainless steel appliances that offer both style and reliability. The expansive finished attic lives like a private retreat-perfect for a spacious primary suite or oversized flex room-while the finished basement dramatically increases the home's functionality with a large recreation area ideal for Super Bowl parties, family celebrations, and hosting guests, plus a full bath, bonus room for added versatility, and abundant storage. The washer and dryer are included, making move-in seamless. Major improvements including a new furnace, new central AC, new HVAC, new electrical service, new hot water tank, and improved insulation provide year-round comfort and peace of mind, and the 2-car garage adds everyday convenience. In April 2026, the owner made additional major investments to protect the home by installing a brand new check valve and two brand new sump pumps, creating a highly reinforced, water-protected basement environment designed to keep moisture out. Located minutes from Interstate 290, the Pulaski Green Line, the Illinois Medical District, the West Loop, the United Center, and the renowned Garfield Park Conservatory, this appreciating neighborhood continues to benefit from strong reinvestment and rising values-making this not just a beautiful and functional home, but a smart long-term investment and a true solid fortress for its next owner.
