1613 S 51st Court Cicero IL 60804 MLS #MRD12519561

This updated brick bungalow is a classic charmer with 3 levels of living. The bold exterior offers a stately backdrop to the garden of custom landscaping. Up the front porch steps, you’re greeted by a gas flame lantern and handcrafted wood entry door. Inside, a cozy foyer leads to the home’s expansive layout, offering generous room sizes and abundant windows that keep the space bright throughout the day with east/west exposures. The main level is filled with character in every corner: original hardwood floors, solid wood doors, original brass and crystal knobs, a pointed archway and classic butler’s door. The layout is spacious, functional, and easy to reimagine, with much of the major work already completed, including a new roof, gutters, and windows in 2019, a modernized garage with new siding and doors in 2024, a new electrical panel and central AC in 2018, a furnace updated in 2017, a hot water heater replaced in 2016, and a high-efficiency washer and dryer installed in 2023. The large eat-in kitchen features quartz countertops, tile backsplash and newer refrigerator. Spread out in the finished attic with 2 bonus rooms and the expansive partially-finished basement with a full bath and space for recreation, a home office and storage. Located just outside the city, this home provides easy access to Midway Airport, I-290 and CTA Pink Line, making commuting simple while still enjoying the space and pace of the suburbs. Unwind at nearby Clyde Park, and enjoy close proximity to Unity Jr High East and Morton Freshman Center. This is a standout opportunity for buyers seeking charm, space, and opportunity. **Please note the 2024 taxes reflect an incorrect classification resulting in a higher tax bill.
