A classic 5 bedroom / 2 bath bungalow built in 1921, the house will make you fall in love with its charm. Featured relics of history including original woodwork, stained glass window, and a beautiful brick fireplace with custom built ins. A favorite feature was the large 180 degree of windows in the front living room that is flooded in light. The current owners poured their hearts and souls into this home and brought it up to current standards. A brand new kitchen with imported Mexican tiles, turquoise tuxedo cabinets, and a full stainless steel appliance package compliment the original wall tile and a nice pantry rare to find in modern homes. The upstairs was completely overhauled with a new bathroom clad in marble and white stone work and a full master bedroom remodel. Three out of five bedrooms are on this level. While remodeling, the owners upgraded the electric system, plumbing and put new insulation into the top floor. New roof was put on in 2011. Below deck, there is a large unfinished basement with tall ceilings ready for storage or to be finished out. A newer tankless water heater, new HVAC system and new laundry are in the lower level. A large fenced in backyard and patio area is great for summertime escapes into the wild and the house is completed with a 2 car garage. The reason for our excitement is two fold - the house is captivating and the neighborhood is thriving. Albany Park is an underrated neighborhood full of life stitched in the middle of the north side of Chicago. Its fabric is made from a diverse sector of family owned businesses that is unique to Chicago and gives the neighborhood its slogan, "Global Roots, Local Hearts". Some of the best restaurants in the city are located here, including Michelin starred Goosefoot, Wabi Sabi and Semiramis. One special perk of this location is that right across the street is the running / biking path that is along the north branch of the river and River Park that has everything including a dog park and a community pool. One other note to mention is the school district. Both Hibbard and Albany Park are ranked as 1+ school districts in CPS and they have a dual language program. Lastly, the brown line train stop is .4 miles from this house and the highway entrance is within 2 miles for an easy commute. Let's help you live the Chicago Lifestyle, welcome to Albany Park.
