Property Description

If you love a home with a story, this one may be unlike any you've seen. Welcome to 4721 W. Altgeld. Offered for the first time ever, this classic Chicago bungalow has been cherished by the same family since it was built in 1928. Third generation owner has called this "home" her entire life after her grandfather purchased it directly from the builder nearly a century ago. Nestled on a picturesque block lined with beautiful Chicago bungalows, this Belmont Heights gem showcases much of its original character, including stunning oak hardwood floors, rich woodwork, original doors, vintage hardware, and timeless architectural details that have been lovingly preserved and meticulously maintained through the generations. The home offers 2 bedrooms plus a tandem room, a spacious living room, formal dining room, bright kitchen with breakfast area and walk-in pantry, and one full bath. High ceilings enhance both the main level and the expansive unfinished basement, which features exterior access and abundant storage for future living space potential. The unfinished attic presents an incredible opportunity for expansion and customization. The lovingly landscaped backyard features a 2 car garage for convenience. Recent improvements include new wahser and dryer (2025), a new boiler (2024), hot water heater (2025), and central air conditioning system (2019), providing peace of mind while preserving the home's historic charm. Located in the desirable Belmont Heights neighborhood, known for its tree-lined streets, classic architecture, convenient access to shopping, dining, parks, public transportation, and major expressways, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Chicago history. Homes with this level of provenance, character, and pride of ownership seldom come to market-don't miss your chance to make this treasured family home the next chapter in its remarkable story.
