Welcome to this classic Chicago bungalow in the highly sought-after Belmont Cragin/Portage Park neighborhood! This well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is full of timeless character, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, a bright and sunny living room with southern exposure, a formal dining room, and spacious living areas filled with natural light. Major improvements include a furnace and HVAC system installed in 2017, a central A/C unit that's approximately six years old, and a roof that's also about six years old. The owners also completed a significant water line improvement to help protect the home from potential flooding, a valuable investment in the property's long-term care. The home features a detached two-car garage, a fenced backyard, and an unfinished basement with tall ceilings, offering endless potential to create additional living space, a recreation room, home office, or gym. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street, this home is just steps from Falconer Elementary School, nearby parks, and public transportation, offering the perfect balance of neighborhood charm and everyday convenience. Whether you're looking for a move-in-ready home or one you can personalize over time, 5024 W. Nelson is a wonderful opportunity to own a classic Chicago bungalow in one of the city's most established neighborhoods. Some pictures were vrtually staged.
