Property Description

Charming brick bungalow in the heart of Jefferson Park - 5405 N Melvina Avenue offers 3 bedrooms across two finished levels, a four-season sunroom, and a one-and-a-half-car garage. A welcoming foyer with coat closet opens to a light-filled living and dining room combination, anchored by hardwood floors and classic arched doorways. The main level includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom with original tile tub surround, and a versatile den-style sunroom overlooking the backyard - ideal as a home office, playroom, or year-round retreat. The kitchen features solid oak cabinetry, laminate countertops, a dishwasher, refrigerator, and range. Upstairs, a fully finished attic level adds a third bedroom plus a flexible recreation room, with generous eave storage tucked throughout. The full, unfinished basement offers a second full bathroom, a dedicated utility and workroom area, and professionally remediated basement flooring - plus plenty of room to expand or customize. Recent mechanical updates include a new furnace and AC condenser (2023) and the roof was replaced in 2012. Set on a classic Jefferson Park block with a nicely sized backyard, this brick bungalow blends timeless architecture with real living space and storage. Being sold as-is as part of an estate sale, it's a rare opportunity to bring your vision to a well-loved Jefferson Park home.
