The square footage here tells only part of the story. Beyond the 2,058-square-foot main level, this Portage home holds a sprawling partially finished basement — complete with a built-in bar, cabinetry, and enough open floor space to imagine almost anything — plus a full upper loft that runs nearly the entire roofline, already insulated with R-19, electric ran, and framed into 2 rooms. All told, the combined footprint across all three levels reaches approximately 6,088 square feet of potential. Both bonus spaces are mid-renovation, which means the next owner gets to finish them their way, not work around someone else’s choices. The attached heated garage fits up to six vehicles, making this a rare find for hobbyists, collectors, or anyone who needs serious storage. Outside, 0.65 acres of flat, tree-lined yard gives the whole property room to breathe. Hitting the MLS for the first time, this is an estate sale being handled by a Personal Representative and is being sold strictly as-is — sale is subject to heir and court approval, with a 30-day court approval period. Buyers should plan accordingly and will want to verify all room sizes independently. This is a home that rewards vision in a quiet Portage neighborhood with easy access to US-20, the Tollway, and the south shore’s parks and trails.
