Property Description
Bright and Move-In Ready Home in a Fantastic Location Near the Oak Park Arts District! Welcome home to this rare find on an extra-wide 50-foot lot in the heart of Oak Park. Thoughtfully positioned to maximize southern exposure, this home is bathed in natural light and features a beautifully maintained sideyard- a true rarity in this area. Step inside to discover a warm, inviting main level featuring a formal dining room and a spacious living room with lovely natural light through a beautiful bay window. The updated kitchen is a showstopper with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, refinished maple floors, a sleek stainless steel sink, and a convenient pantry closet. The breakfast nook overlooks the back patio and yard, featuring a stunning wood beadboard ceiling that adds warmth and character, while the large picture window floods the space with natural light. A powder room on this level adds extra convenience. Upstairs, the spa-like full bath, professionally designed by Amanda Miller Designs, is a true retreat, boasting heated floors, elegant herringbone wall tile, and a custom linen closet. Three comfortable bedrooms, all with bamboo flooring and designer custom blinds, complete the second floor. The cozy, finished basement- fully rehabbed in 2022- offers a versatile space for a gym, family room, or home office and includes a sump pump with drain tile and battery backup for peace of mind. Outside, the private patio and fenced yard provide the perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining. Premier Outdoor Environment professionally designed and landscaped the outdoor space, creating a lush, inviting retreat. The two-car garage features a stairway to a generously sized second floor, ideal for high and dry storage. Additional highlights include central air (installed in 2015) and a new 200-amp electrical panel (2022). The block hosts two block parties annually, fostering a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. Plus, you'll be just blocks from the Oak Park Arts District, with its charming boutiques, galleries, and fantastic restaurants, and three blocks to Longfellow Elementary and Park. The I-290 expressway is only about a half-mile away for commuters, making for a quick and easy drive to downtown Chicago and beyond. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in a prime Oak Park location!
