5133 W Hutchinson St.

It doesn't get more picturesque than this - an inviting Craftsman Bungalow porch on an extra wide lot on the beautifully maintained 5100 block of Hutchinson. As you walk into this 100 year old charmer, an expansive entry area with original leaded windows opens into a generous living space and dining room. Toward the back of the home, there is the perfect size family room/hang-out eating area which also allows for easy future expansion of the kitchen. An adorable all season sunroom adorns the rear of property with tranquil views over the spacious yard. First floor also features a full bath and bedroom. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, plentiful closet space and lots of potential with unfinished space for a bathroom and additional living space. The basement has exceptional height at almost 7 1/2 feet with drywalled ceilings, and is ready for finishing. If you are tired of the typical postage stamp city backyard and neighbors practically eating through your window, then this is the lot for you. You will spend half the year living on the storybook porch or dreamy city backyard with room for all those things you've been wanting to do outside. And a new central air conditioner will keep you cool when come in! This is the heart of Portage Park - a mere two blocks to one of the most popular parks in the city, and equal distance to one of two thriving commercial districts. Highway and transit access are nearby, and friendly neighbors abound!
