Built in 1953
Sold
Units n/a

Beautiful all-brick Cape Cod in the heart of Edison Park on an extra-large lot, offering a rare blend of charm, space, and thoughtful updates. Curb appeal shines with classic brickwork, newer front steps, entry walk, side path, landscaping, and a front bay window. Step into a spacious foyer with coat closet, leading to a sun-filled living room with hardwood floors and large picture windows. The formal dining room connects to a stylish, updated eat-in kitchen featuring granite countertops, 42" dark maple cabinets, tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, and generous table space. An enclosed back porch (excellent as a mud room or sunny office!) with built-in storage provides direct access to the yard. The flexible floor plan includes two bedrooms on the main level, two additional bedrooms upstairs (one currently used as a massive walk-in closet), and a full bathroom on each level-three in total. The finished walk-out lower level expands your living space with a tiled wet bar, large family/media room, and open 16x14 playroom with rubber mat flooring over tile-perfect for kids or a home gym. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced backyard with both green space (touch some grass!) AND an expansive concrete patio. The 2.5-car detached garage includes a party door, classically Chicago and perfect for fully enjoying your space with friends and family. Walk-out basement stairs were replaced with concrete steps, and a newer sump pump, ejector pump, and gutters give you confidence for years to come. Additional benefits include central air, beautiful hardwood floors throughout, built-in storage upstairs and in the porch, jetted tub, tiled walk-in shower, and newer washer/dryer. Built around 1953, this home sits in a prime location near Metra, shops, dining, parks, and easy Blue Line access. Tender loving care shows in every detail-don't miss this versatile and move-in-ready Edison Park gem.
