5009 S Keeler Ave., Chicago, IL 60632

This historic Chicago bungalow on an oversized lot has been updated and had a second floor added, yet it maintains its official certification from the Chicago Bungalow Association. Solid oak floors and moldings acknowledge master craftsmanship. The 8 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 2-car garage, composite deck, and canopied patio are great for entertaining friends and family in and out of doors. Combination radiator (first floor) and forced air (second floor) heat warms in the winter, and dual-zone central air cools in the summer. Soundproof windows have been installed throughout. Stainless appliances and granite counters grace the large kitchen adjacent a sunny breakfast nook. The second story addition, all but invisible from the street, was added to the back 3/4 of the house. Front 1/4 remains a giant storage space. The second floor has a sitting room, 2 full baths, and 4 bedrooms, one a master suite. The basement includes a half bath, workroom, and walkout stairwell to the backyard, which holds rose and lilac bushes and a south-exposed garden plot. Huge, well-kept, and unique, this home is waiting for another loving family.
