Description

Welcome to 5537 W Melrose, a beautifully renovated English Tudor that offers the perfect move-in-ready sanctuary in the historic Portage Park.

The expansive, fully finished basement is a dream for all kinds of entertaining, providing the ultimate footprint for a movie room, play area, or a cozy spot for game nights. Outside, the rear deck and detached two-car garage make summer BBQs and parking a breeze. You are just minutes from the 36-acre Portage Park, and commuting is simple with quick access to the CTA Blue Line and the Kennedy Expressway. This home perfectly balances classic Chicago character with the high-end finishes and functional space to meet all of your needs.
