01About this home

Rare opportunity in the heart of Garfield Ridge. This expansive all-brick Chicago Bungalow delivers over 4,000 sq ft of fully finished, heated living space across three levels, a true standout in the neighborhood. With 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the layout is ideal for large families or multi-generational living, featuring a fully independent second floor with its own living room, three bedrooms, and a primary bedroom. The finished basement adds over 1,200 sq ft of additional space complete with a dedicated laundry room and a classic laundry chute from the second floor. Hardwood floors throughout the main floor, with hardwood waiting under the rugs on the second floor as well. Major mechanicals are within 5-10 years of age, including the furnace, boiler, solar panels, and roof for both the home and garage.
