This beautifully maintained yellow-brick octagon bungalow sits on one of Peterson Woods' most picturesque, tree-lined streets. With its striking bay front, arched entryway, and mature landscaping, the home offers timeless curb appeal. Inside, vintage character blends with thoughtful updates, including a 2022 kitchen renovation featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, open shelving, and Perrin & Rowe gold-finished fixtures. A welcoming living room showcases wood-trimmed bay windows, a brick fireplace, and warm natural light. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, which also includes a formal dining room, two sizable bedrooms, and a nicely updated full bath. The finished lower level adds a spacious third bedroom, second full bath, family room, laundry, and storage. The expansive attic offers excellent potential for future expansion. Additional highlights include central air, gas-forced heai, a new water heater (2025), newer HVAC (2021), a private backyard, and two-car garage. Enjoy strolls along the scenic river paths in nearby Legion Park and quick access to public transit, shops, and dining. This is a rare opportunity to own a classic Chicago bungalow updated for modern living.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
