Welcome home to 5257 N. Laporte Ave. Located in one of Chicago's most sought after neighborhoods. Situated on a tree lined block, this thoughtfully redesigned home was rebuilt in 2014 by Airoom. This 4 bed, 3 bath home is bursting with natural sunlight. The first floor offers neutral and stylish white shaker cabinetry in a cook's dream kitchen complete with an island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, a new reverse osmosis Culligan drinking water system and a bright and sunny breakfast nook. On the first floor you'll also find a large separate dining room and large 4th bedroom. The bright staircase leads you to large master bedroom with a large walk-in closet and 2 additional bedrooms along with a spa like family bathroom. The fully-finished lower level significantly expands the home's utility with endless possibilities including a new stacked washer dryer and newly finished full bathroom. Additional highlights include brand-new windows installed in 2025, zoned heating and cooling systems, fresh paint 2026, refinished hardwood floors 2026, a flood control system and trenchless CIPP liners in the main sewer and branch lines, updated light fixtures and recessed lights throughout. What makes Forest Glen so special isn't just its exceptional location-within walking distance of the Metra and just minutes from parks, the North Branch Trail, shopping, dining and major expressways, offering easy access to downtown Chicago, O'Hare and the North Shore. It's also the strong sense of community that residents cherish. From the Fourth of July parade and celebration to Easter egg hunt, Oktoberfest, Halloween festivities and year-round neighborhood gatherings including book clubs. Forest Glen is the kind of place where neighbors become friends, traditions are celebrated and community is a way of life. This is more than just a home-it's a rare opportunity to be a part of one Chicago's most desirable communities. MOVE IN READY!
