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.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
