Property Description
Discover timeless Chicago charm with room to grow at 8044 S Harper Avenue, nestled along a beautiful, tree-lined street in the historic Avalon Park Bungalow District. This distinctive octagon-style brick home stands out with its classic architecture, expansive double lot, private side drive, and detached two-car brick garage-a rare combination of character, space, and convenience. Inside, natural sunlight highlights the hardwood floors and inviting living room, complete with a gas fireplace, while the spacious formal dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings. Three comfortable main-level bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The updated kitchen brings a fresh, modern feel with quartz countertops, sleek flat-panel cabinetry, a full suite of new appliances, and a charming original built-in hutch that preserves the home's historic appeal. The finished basement takes entertaining and everyday living to the next level, featuring a massive family room with a second gas fireplace, a fourth private bedroom, and a beautifully appointed full bathroom. Above, the expansive unfinished attic provides abundant storage and exciting possibilities for future customization. Major improvements have already been completed, including a new roof and high-efficiency furnace in 2025, new copper plumbing, glass-block windows, new interior and exterior doors, a rebuilt rear porch, and fresh privacy fencing. A brand-new central air conditioning system will be installed before closing, adding even more comfort and value. With generous indoor and outdoor space, timeless architectural character, significant updates, and remarkably low Cook County property taxes, this home offers a unique opportunity to enjoy classic Chicago living with the space, flexibility, and peace of mind today's buyers are looking for.
