Highest & Best requested by Monday 8/24/2026 by 3 p.m. Offers received on lot and house separately as well as combined. Truly Exceptional Bridgeport Single-Family Home! Welcome to a truly special Bridgeport property offering the rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully maintained custom brick single-family home with the option to also acquire the immediately adjacent side lot, creating an extraordinary private garden oasis and an exceptional extension of your living space. From the moment you arrive, the home's stunning curb appeal, meticulous maintenance, and undeniable pride of ownership are immediately apparent. Step inside and you'll experience the warm, welcoming feeling of home, with thoughtfully designed spaces, quality finishes, and an abundance of character throughout. The home offers two finished levels of generous living space. The main level welcomes you with a huge family/great room, providing remarkable flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Whether envisioned as a game room, home theater, entertaining space, guest or related-living area, or a combination of uses, this expansive room offers endless possibilities. The level also features a full bathroom, a spacious laundry room, and abundant storage. Upstairs, soaring vaulted ceilings and skylights create an exceptional sense of light and openness. Gleaming hardwood floors complement the beautifully appointed living spaces, including a truly distinctive designer kitchen. Three bedrooms and two additional full bathrooms complete the second level. The lovely Primary Suite is a peaceful retreat, featuring patio doors that open to views of the lush green oasis beyond. It's the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind after a long day, or simply take in the beauty of your surroundings. The impressive Primary Bathroom features resort-inspired finishes and radiant heated flooring, creating a luxurious experience right at home. Additional highlights include radiant floor heat throughout the main level and in the front attached two-car garage, the 2nd level features baseboard heat and central air conditioning throughout both levels. But perhaps the most extraordinary feature is the opportunity to own the adjacent private garden lot. Imagine stepping directly from your beautiful home into a lush, professionally landscaped outdoor retreat-an exceptional extension of your living space and a rare luxury in the city. It's an ideal setting for morning coffee, gardening, summer gatherings, outdoor entertaining, or quiet evenings surrounded by greenery. The seller prefers to sell both parcels together, but is negotiable. Adjacent lot (614 W. 37th St.) is listed separately. Lot MLS# 12736577. Situated on a beautiful, tree-lined street surrounded by attractive homes and new construction, this property is ideally located in the highly desirable Bridgeport neighborhood. Enjoy convenient access to local coffee shops, restaurants, public transportation, Rate Field and Chicago White Sox baseball, major expressways, downtown Chicago, and the lakefront. This is truly not your typical home. The combination of custom construction, spacious and flexible living areas, distinctive architectural features, exceptional outdoor space, and the opportunity to acquire the adjacent lot makes this a remarkably rare offering. A home and garden oasis like this must be experienced in person. Schedule your private showing and discover everything this exceptional Bridgeport property has to offer.
