3622 N Linder Ave.

No detail was overlooked in this 2020 demolition of a brick bungalow that spared only the exterior walls and front porch, creating a beautifully designed, new five-bedroom home abounding with natural light, sophistication and features and finishes found in upper-market offerings. Fabulous curb appeal and perched on a large 33 x 126-foot lot on a treelined block walking distance to the park, the home's covered front porch invites you into its spacious, open floor plan with naturally finished white oak hardwood floors that elegantly display the owners' Mid-Century modern furniture, complementing the home's innate aesthetic. A powder room is nestled off the living areas. The living and dining rooms flow into the stylish kitchen with a well-proportioned family space ideal for a children's play area. White custom cabinetry frames the kitchen and large island with GE Profile stainless steel appliances and Carrara quartz counters polishing the design. A walk-in pantry with built-ins sits off the kitchen, next to a large mudroom with built-ins and storage. Sliding doors open onto a wood deck that offers both covered and uncovered living spaces, enhancing enjoyment for gatherings in the rain or shine. Step down from the deck onto a sizable, fenced-in back yard and two-car garage. A contemporary black-iron banister staircase leads to four, light-filled bedrooms (or home office) with three walk-in closets on the second level. The primary suite sits in the front of the home with east-facing windows, a large, outfitted walk-in closet and entrancing sun-lit bathroom with double vanities, seamless glass shower, soaking tub and appealing stone and tile finishes. A family bathroom and laundry round out the bedroom level. The lower level is a perfect escape for family time, recreation and guests with an additional bedroom, full bathroom and multi-purpose great room with wet bar. There is phenomenal storage on every level, and the home is pre-wired for indoor/outdoor speakers. The owners installed a comprehensive security and smart home system to control and monitor everything with an app. Enjoy walking to Portage Park for an awesome playground, dog park and swimming pool across from the neighborhood's best coffee shop and other family-friendly and adult-friendly offerings, such as Culver's, Moonflower and Easy Street Pizza. There are several nearby options for public and parochial schools. A wonderful family home and neighborhood!
