Property Description
Welcome home to this completely remodeled 4-5 bedroom bungalow in highly south-after Norwood Park! Thoughtfully renovated with quality craftsmanship throughout, this classic bungalow offers the peace of mind of virtually everything being brand new, including beautifully refinished hardwood floors, new energy efficient windows, new HVAC, new electrical and contemporary lighting fixtures, new roof and gutters, and upgraded copper plumbing. NO DETAIL HAS BEEN OVERLOOKED! The first level features a bright and airy living room that flows into a separate dining room with a beautiful new staircase to the second level, 2 spacious bedrooms, a stunning new full bath with designer tile and vanity, and an all new chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry and quartz countertops. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious sunlit family room that's ideal for casual dining or a child's playroom. The second level features two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings, loads of closets, a beautifully remodeled bathroom and a huge 242 sq. ft. storage space. And if you desire total primary bedroom luxury, the second level can easily be converted into one large and very charming open suite! The finished lower level boasts new wood-like tile flooring, a beautifully remodeled full bathroom, separate laundry room with new washer and dryer, additional storage areas, and a massive 20' x 21' family room with plenty of space for a fifth bedroom. The finished lower level is an "English Walk-Out" that's ideal space for a teenage child, guests or visiting in-laws. Other plusses: two-car-garage that's been drywalled and features a new roof and two new double garage doors opening to both the alley and rear yard -- perfect for outdoor barbecues and entertaining; a new fence with secure gates; and beautifully landscaped front and rear yards. Located on a quiet tree-lined street, this move-in ready home is close to Taft High School, parks, shopping and public transportation.

Explore Norwood Park
An abundantly green north side Chicago neighborhood, Norwood Park boasts strong community ties and is filled with fantastic older residences that are ideal for raising a family. Norwood Park resists the typical Chicago grid system in favor of more winding roads. Along these curving drives, homebuyers will find a wonderful variety of properties. Nineteenth-century houses, Cape Cods, ranches, condominiums and new construction developments sum up the real estate opportunities, which fall in just as broad a range of prices. The neighborhood features a small, yet satisfying assortment of dining options within its borders and there is even a unique boutique or two. When it comes to nightlife in Norwood Park, pubs are it. Neighborhood regulars meet up for whatever is on tap and a bit of that community bonding.
