Lovingly updated & meticulously maintained yellow-brick, Octagon Bungalow with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and an expandable attic on prime, corner, extra-wide (38 foot) lot in Irving Park! Rarely does a curated home like this take your breath away as this one does. From the preserved woodwork, and details like cove moldings & arched doorways, to the freshly finished basement, this home is not only move-in ready but stunning, classic & inviting. Stepping inside to your foyer, you first are greeted by the grand living room with natural wood-burning fireplace that's framed by matching built-in bookcases, and big enough to fit a baby grand piano and plenty of furniture. From there, the formal dining room leads you to the updated kitchen, which features granite counters & stainless steel appliances, with a window overlooking the neighborhood trees and an eat-in area that overlooks your back patio/yard. There are 2 spacious bedrooms on this floor, including king-sized primary & second bedroom that connects to the den/office (possible nursery or 5th bedroom), and hardwood floors throughout. The lower level is newly renovated, with gorgeous luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Enjoy game or movie nights (or just relax!) in the spacious family room that also has a wet bar with beverage fridge. There are also two additional bedrooms, plus a stylish full bath with walk-in shower, and a bonus room for crafting, storage, additional office, exercise equipment or more. Plus, additional storage room and bright, updated laundry room with brand new side-by-side washer & dryer too. A full, walk-up attic with new subfloor and good ceiling height is ready for your expansion. Home has a new tear-off roof (2023) plus new electric circuit box & newly installed electric service line. The home's outdoor space is as stunning as inside: landscaped grounds include a fully fenced yard, raised up from the street to maximize privacy and quiet. The paver patio is great for al fresco dining/outdoor fun, and there's even a space on the side that could be a great dog run. Hydrangeas, Magnolia tree, Japanese Maple, Daylillies and ivy ground cover are all featured in the yard's landscaping. A 2-car brick garage has separate doors and opens to the street vs the alley, which is super helpful in winter (and new garage door openers in 2024). New Lennox Central Air/Heat 2023. Home was previously certified as Historic Bungalow. A+ location near dining, shops, grocery, with easy access to the Heart of Roscoe Village and North Center, the best of Avondale, Wrigley Field, and convenient to Lane Tech and DePaul College Prep. Several parks are also nearby (California & Horner Parks, McFetridge Sports Center with indoor tennis and hockey/ice skating, plus Clark Park with kayaking/rowing) and the home has easy access to the expressway. All on a pretty, quiet, tree-lined street. Come home!
