This rare 1911 Craftsman-Style 3 BR / 2 BA bungalow is a true gem in West Ridge, unlike anything else on the Far North Side. Built around a towering red oak tree, this U-shaped stucco home features striking architectural details by renowned architect George W. Maher. Post-and-beam entry porch opens to a barrel-vaulted foyer and living room that make a dramatic first impression with natural oak woodwork, original leaded glass windows and an inglenook gas fireplace with built-in oak benches and bookcases. Separated by French doors, the bright dining room is surrounded on three sides by casement windows, filling the space with abundant natural light. Renovated kitchen offers oak cabinetry with glass-front doors, granite countertops, and a square tile backsplash, complemented by Arts and Crafts inspired pendant lighting and decorative borders, along with a Sub-Zero refrigerator and SS appliances (oven, dishwasher, microwave less than 5 years old). This home was made for entertaining! A back door off the kitchen opens to a generously sized Trex deck (new in 2023) and a beautifully landscaped backyard. The spacious outdoor area features a brick paver patio, tranquil pond, potting shed and a two-car garage (equipped with EV charger outlet) – perfect for gatherings or everyday enjoyment. All three bedrooms are generously sized and conveniently located on the first floor, along with a full bathroom – renovated in 2010 to complement the home’s vintage charm with the original tub, pedestal sink, classic subway tile, and sconces. Light-filled lower level features an expansive family room w/decorative fireplace and built-in bookshelves (perfect as a home office or additional bedroom), full bath with walk-in shower, large laundry room with chute and ample storage. All big projects are already done for you – roof (2018), water heater (2021), boiler and central air (2022). Only minutes away from Indian Boundary Park, local grocery stores, restaurants, CTA and just 5 blocks to the Metra. This home is meticulously maintained and thoughtfully designed, this remarkable opportunity should not be missed!
