Property Description
Welcome to this historically significant Arts & Crafts style home in the very heart of Oak Park. Built in 1915 and designed by Postle & Fischer and built by Guy & McClintock for John Meier. Sitting on an impressive 175 X 175 lot, it features a wide porte-cochere, with a driveway that has access from the street all the way back to the alley for ease of use and extra parking off the 3-car garage with a charming 1 BR 1 BA Coach House (not counted in the room count). The grand foyer greets you inside the main house with beautiful art glass and opens to a huge living room with a period-perfect fireplace. The entertainment-sized dining room enjoys views of the patio and flows into the bright, oversized, well-equipped kitchen with a large cooking island, side-by-side subzero refrigerator and freezer, two sinks, glorious storage, and miles of counter space including an eating peninsula. This delightful space is sure to please anyone cooking for a crowd or just enjoying a cup of coffee to start the day. The kitchen and sunny breakfast room, with its cozy window seat, open to the deck and patio, is perfect for entertaining. All rooms enjoy fabulous views of the park like setting especially the family room which also has access to the patio. Travel up the impressive staircase to the wide, 2nd floor hallway. This floor offers 4 sizable bedrooms including a multi-room primary bedroom suite with an en suite bath, dressing room, and office/sunroom for a very zen experience. 3 more good sized bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms complete this floor. Continue up the full, wide staircase to the third floor bonus room with its treetop views of the front and back yard. Off this large room, you will find the 5th bedroom with double closets, great for guests to enjoy views of the side yard. There is also ample storage on this floor. The finished basement is a delight! The current owners had part of the basement dug down so the media room, office, 1/2 bath and billiard/game room enjoy heated floors, what a luxury! There is also a big laundry room, utility-work room, wine room, and plenty of storage too. The elevator travels from the main floor to 2nd floor and is being conveyed as-is, as the sellers do not use it. Don't miss this unique, generational opportunity.
