Fully remodeled from top to bottom, this stunning Chicago-style brick bungalow offers the perfect blend of timeless charm and modern upgrades with 7 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 full kitchens, formal living and dining rooms, a two-car garage, and extra gated parking. The welcoming covered front porch leads into a bright foyer, opening to a spacious living room and dining area with refinished hardwood floors and fresh finishes throughout. The main floor features two large bedrooms, including one with a tandem bonus room perfect for a home office, nursery, gym, or reading nook, while a brand-new spa-like bathroom and a fully renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and modern fixtures complete the level. Off the kitchen, an enclosed back porch leads to a beautifully maintained yard with a concrete patio, green space, gardening area, and extra parking. The fully finished basement-with private entrance-offers three more bedrooms, a full second kitchen, a new updated bathroom, and a large living space ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income. The second level features two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering flexible living space with cozy charm (note: ceiling height varies slightly due to classic bungalow architecture). Major updates include brand-new kitchens and bathrooms (2023), updated plumbing and electrical systems, newer HVAC, roof, energy-efficient windows, and a custom garage (2018). The main level was meticulously rebuilt with new drywall and insulation for enhanced energy efficiency, ensuring modern comfort alongside historic character. Nestled on a wide, tree-lined street in North Mayfair-a hidden gem with a tight-knit community vibe-this home sits just blocks from parks, top-rated Disney II Magnet School, and the bustling Six Corners shopping district with cafes, breweries, and boutiques. Easy access to the Blue Line, Metra, and I-90 puts downtown 20 minutes away, while nearby North Park and Northeastern Illinois Universities add convenience. With today's high construction costs and renovation delays, this move-in-ready home is a rare opportunity to own a fully finished, high-quality property without the wait-perfect for investors, multigenerational living, or those seeking space and value in the city.

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.
