About this home
Beautifully updated single-family home just steps from Independence Park and one block from Murphy Elementary, located in highly the desirable Irving Park neighborhood. Fully gutted in 2011, this home has since seen extensive improvements including a professionally waterproofed lower level with drain tile and sump pump, newer HVAC and oversized water heater, and added finished living space. The main level features a bright living room with oversized windows, wood-burning fireplace with marble surround, built-in speakers, and a convenient coat closet. A main-level bedroom or office sits next to a full bath with rain shower. The updated kitchen offers Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open-concept layout flowing into the dining and family room - perfect for everyday living and entertaining - with easy access to a covered back deck featuring an attached gas grill. Upstairs are two generously sized bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath with deep soaking tub. The primary bedroom includes a custom walk-in closet. The finished lower level adds versatile living space with great ceiling height and a water line in place for a future wet bar. A newer 2.5-car garage includes additional storage, EV-ready 220V electrical, and a full-height second-story storage area with pull-down stair access. Additional highlights include low-maintenance Hardie board siding, extra storage via crawl space, and a spacious rear deck leading to an oversized yard with mature Magnolia tree and perennial landscaping. Move right in - this home is thoughtfully updated, well cared for, and ready to enjoy....
