The sweet aroma of backyard roses and peonies waft through the grapevines, raspberry bushes, and trellised clematis of this charming 5 bed/3 bath brick home nestled in the Norwood Park neighborhood. In addition to the beautiful "secret garden" landscaping, this home has a large wooden deck perfect for entertaining with built-in grill and an outdoor fireplace. The deck leads right into the spacious kitchen with open eat-in dining area. Just ahead of the kitchen you'll find two sizeable bedrooms, full bath with walk-in shower, and a lovely living room with bay windows filtering in the west-facing light. Upstairs features a light-filled primary bedroom with walk-in closet and perfect room for an office or nursery across the hall past the 2nd full bathroom. Downstairs you'll find a fully finished walk-out basement with brick gas fireplace, laundry room, and guest suite. The home was recently professionally painted and tasteful lighting updates and bathroom vanity added. Conveniently located a block away from Rosedale Park, Chicago foodie icons Smak-tak Polish restaurant and Super Dawg Drive-in, the Edgebrook and Norwood Park Metra stations, 90/94 Expressway, and multiple grocery stores including a quick drive to Costco in Niles. Come and join the neighborhood block party held each summer and be the next owner of this absolute gem on the northwest side.
