Gorgeous, professionally built 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bath single family home is perfectly located in the heart of Portage Park. This architecturally inspired and expertly designed home combines all the high-end modern amenities with the character of a true American Four-Square home, offering the ideal blend of style and comfort on an oversized lot in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods. Located on a tree-lined Cullom Ave, this home is easily the best house on the block in the rapidly appreciating Portage Park neighborhood. Every detail in this house has been planned, professionally built and designed for a very comfortable living!

A bonus storage room with separate access ensures ample space for all your seasonal items. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the covered front porch with its inviting bench swing, perfect for lazy summer days. The enclosed backyard and large rear deck offer ideal spaces for al fresco dining and entertaining. A 2-car detached garage provides safe and convenient parking, in addition to ample street parking in front. Perfectly located for ultimate convenience, this home offers easy access to the thriving Six Corners district, home to popular retail stores, restaurants, and small businesses.
