Picture this. A classic Chicago Cape Cod, standing proudly on an oversized 29-foot-wide lot, reimagined and refreshed for modern, everyday living-right in the heart of prime Norwood Park. This is the kind of home that stops you in your tracks. If you've been waiting for space (over 3, 500 square feet), a modern layout, and the confidence of knowing the big-ticket upgrades are already done this is it. When home and location meet excellence, this is what it looks like. Expanded with a thoughtfully designed addition in 2020, this home gained not only square footage, but comfort, convenience, and peace of mind, right down to the full tear-off roof completed the same year. It's a home built for real life: for hosting, entertaining, growing into, or even combining households. With four spacious bedrooms and true fifth-bedroom potential, it checks every box and then some. Gorgeous hardwood floors span the main level and second floor. Dual-zoned HVAC keeps every season comfortable. The open-concept layout flows effortlessly into an eat-in kitchen with a breakfast bar a kitchen you'll truly love, featuring tons of cabinetry, a built-in pantry, real wood cabinets, granite countertops, and space for both an eat-in table and formal dining. Just off the kitchen, a large family room anchors the home the place where mornings start, evenings unwind, and memories are made. Hosting a book club? Wine nights, Football Sunday? Set up the charcuterie station on the breakfast bar and the chili station downstairs. And the flexibility? It's unmatched. Want a home gym or a home bar? You don't have to choose, we have both! A dream laundry room fully equipt in the basement. Upstairs, a beautiful library that easily converts into a fifth bedroom or playroom, and versatile living spaces throughout mean this home adapts to you.

Upstairs, the second floor continues the wow factor with a spacious library or fifth bedroom, an oversized primary suite measuring 21.8' x 14.1' complete with hardwood floors and a walk-in closet, plus extra storage and large closets throughout. The full bath shines with classic subway tile, soaking tub, blending timeless style with modern comfort. Cue the basement.
