Property Description
Welcome to your heart's desire in the heart of Oak Park! Beauty, warmth, & vintage vibes combine with contemporary style and great flow - this home has it all! Upon crossing the deep, shaded, open front porch you'll be impressed by the stucco and painting in great condition (because it was updated 2023-24, as was tuckpointing). As you cross into the expansive foyer with gorgeous original woodwork, (original hardwood floors abound here and throughout the home) , you're already wowed. To your left you'll find one of the original two parlors, used as a family room, and to your right the large and sunny formal living room with beautiful leaded glass windows, and the equally sunny dining room with coffered ceiling and charming casement accent windows. The dining room connects to the stylish contemporary kitchen (remodeled 2016) with immense island and loads of pantry space, which blends seamlessly into a larger room with wood-burning fireplace, built-in work station & space currently used as a relaxing place to hang out but that could easily be a spacious eat-in area. No matter what, you'll enjoy the view from a wall of windows overlooking the stunning, professionally landscaped backyard. But before heading out the backdoor with its conveniently adjacent broad "landing zone", be sure to see the remodeled powder room cleverly tucked between the kitchen and private back hallway with coat closet. Once outside, you'll find a ready-to-entertain flagstone patio, separate paved fire-pit area, fenced dog-run and spectacular garden beds planted to bloom for three seasons. Beyond the newer fence (2024) you'll find a prodigious parking pad (concrete just replaced June '25) and the two-car garage. Head upstairs to find 4 substantial bedrooms, including a primary suite with another leaded glass window, 2 closets (one walk-in) and its own soothing bright bathroom with oversize shower. The equally bright hall bath and original linen cupboard are also off the large landing on this level, as is the door to the immense, finished, heated attic. You'll be wowed again when you find it brimming with bead-board, multiple windows and 4 huge closets - 1 each in the corners under the eaves. Immediately ideas to make it your own (Second primary suite? Teen hang out? Office + exercise room? Nanny or boomerang kid suite?) will start percolating, though it's very usable as is! The basement is unfinished and where you'll find plenty of storage and a helpful table for folding next to the newer washer/dryer (2023), not to mention a handy exterior door with unusually wide steps - very convenient for bringing in large items. This warm and inviting home not only HAS IT ALL, it's conveniently located NEAR IT ALL. When you must leave this stunner, you'll more than appreciate how close you are to both OPRF and Fenwick high schools, the Green Line, Ridgeland Common (pool, park, dog park, ice rink), ice cream, the main Oak Park library, the Farmers' Market, multiple coffee shops, groceries, dry cleaners, auto repair, & nail salons, not to mention fabulous restaurants from diners to high-end cuisine to international fare of all kinds...Yes, you really can walk to all of this and more from this exceptional home. Come see and be ready to lose your heart!
