About this home
Offering an impressive amount of living space, this beautifully rehabbed Chicago bungalow just north of Lincoln Square blends vintage character with thoughtful modern updates. An arched brick fireplace and built-in bookcase add warmth to the living room, while the eat-in kitchen features waterfall countertops with integrated charging stations, a glass backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a cleverly concealed pantry. The refrigerator and dishwasher were replaced in 2025. The finished lower level provides even more room to spread out, including a movie room and a generous primary suite with an ensuite bath and oversized walk-in closet. A private home office and full laundry room add everyday convenience. Outdoor spaces include a charming front garden, rear deck, concrete patio, and fully fenced yard, plus a two-car garage with an overhead party door for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. Additional improvements include a roof installed in 2019, windows replaced in 2020, an HVAC system with an electronic air filter added in 2022, and attic insulation in 2025. Enjoy easy access to Budlong Woods Library, West Ridge Nature Preserve, Northeastern Illinois University, local dining, and all that nearby Lincoln Square has to offer.
