Pre-listing home inspection, radon test, wood destroying insect inspection, and sewer scope, all available upon request and were completed 2/11/2025. We have nothing to hide here, folks! A captivating 1908 American Foursquare nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street on one of Portage Park's most popular blocks. Overflowing with timeless character and immense potential, this home is ready for you to write its next chapter. Solid oak millwork, an ornate staircase, and stunning stained glass windows are just a few of the features showcasing this home's craftsmanship and have withstood the test of time. While a touch of TLC will make this property truly shine, numerous updates provide a strong foundation for the next chapter. The formal living and dining rooms feature hardwood floors, and oversized aluminum-clad wood windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen, updated 10+/- years ago, is a chef's dream with a 36" Wolf gas range, Thermador Professional range hood, and ample storage and prep space. At the rear of the home, a spacious family room awaits, complete with custom built-ins, a main floor half bathroom, and access to the backyard. Expanded in 2002, the second floor offers an impressive primary suite with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, custom built-in storage, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and vanity (bedroom set from Michaels Company for Restoration Hardware available for sale, too). Two additional generously sized bedrooms with abundant closet space and a hall bathroom complete this level. No pull-down attic stairs here--a full staircase off the hall leads to a fully floored attic, perfect for storage or conversion into additional living space, and is approximately 793 sq. ft. NOT INCLUDED in the square footage shown. Central air conditioning was added in 2000-no more unsightly window units! The basement adds practicality with a walk-up access to the backyard. The outdoor space is a true retreat. Completely redesigned in 2015, the backyard features a stunning bluestone patio, pergola, and raised garden beds, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A detached two-car garage rounds out this property. Additional updates include a high-efficiency boiler and a 50-gallon water heater, both installed in 2024. The foundation was reinforced with piers during the second-floor expansion in 2002, adding peace of mind for years to come. It will, however, soon need a roof and cosmetic updates. Situated in a vibrant community close to Dickinson Park, Portage Park & School, St. Benedict School, and shopping. Enjoy nearby restaurants and nightlife like Eris Brewery, Community Tavern, Lucky Grill, and La Dulce Vita Cucina. Enjoy the LeClaire Avenue Block Party every August, complete with games, live bands, and great memories. Close to Grayland Metra Station, Montrose Blue Line, a plethora of CTA buses. This classic home invites you to reimagine its full potential while enjoying the best of Portage Park living!
