Property Description
Classic Chicago bungalow located in the convenient Norwood Park East neighborhood near everything! Charming vintage bungalow needing updating is on a very quiet street in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods close to Rosedale Park, Bunker Hill Forest preserve, Caldwell and Edgebrook Woods. The elementary/junior high, William J Onahan Public school is about a 13-minute walk and Taft high school about 20 minutes according to Google Maps. This mid-century modern home has great curb appeal with the signature bay window and gabled second floor. Upon entering the formal foyer, you will notice how bright it is because of the glass block window. Step into the large light and bright living room and see what makes this solid home a classic. There is the big bay window, arched doorways, plaster crown molding and a woodburning fireplace with incredible interest custom mantel and surround. Of course, there is a huge separate formal dining room with a mid-century modern light fixture. The kitchen is considerably large with lots of cabinets, counter space and pantry closet. It has a very ample eating area which feels more like a breakfast room because it can accommodate a full-size table. Even though you will probably remodel the kitchen you might be tempted to leave the "period" wall tile. The rest of the first floor has 2 very good-sized bedrooms and a full bath which like the kitchen you will probably remodel but perhaps keep the floor and wall tile. Upstairs you will find a half bath another good size bedroom with electric baseboard heat. The most amazing surprise is the huge unfinished attic area with soaring gables and is completely floored and insulated. What an incredible space to make into an amazing primary bedroom with full bath! Please note that the forced air heat and central air services only the first floor presently. The furnace is about 9 years old and the central air about 2. There is an electric flood control system which has been serviced every year which prevents the sewer from back flowing into the house. The basement is huge and unfinished. The backyard is attractive and fenced. There is a huge 2.5+ car detached garage. This is an exceptional home that is waiting for the right owner to bring out its amazing potential. There is a lot to work with here. The seller is currently working on getting rid of a lot of stuff mainly in the basement and attic, but the house will be empty at closing. Photos of attic, upstairs bedroom and kitchen are virtually staged. This is not a "handyman special." This just a solid charming home in a great neighborhood that is overburdened with stuff mostly in the attic and basement.
