About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome home to this stately brick home on Kenilworth in NW Oak Park's coveted boulevard neighborhood. Situated among Oak Park's classic and architecturally lovely homes, 1118 N Kenilworth is spacious and stunning while also warm, sprawling, and inviting. The wonderful flow is conducive to comfortable living and gracious entertaining. Enter the home via the magnificent rounded front door and enjoy the fabulous foyer and gorgeous original staircase. You are greeted by the first floor's oversized formal living room and dining room spaces, and its massive bright, kitchen open to the light-filled family room with huge windows overlooking the back yard flowing out into the extra-wide deck and mature, professionally maintained gardens and yard complete with in-ground sprinkler system. Private home office/playroom, 3 season room, mudroom, and powder room complete the fantastic first-floor plan. Upstairs are five huge bedrooms (one being used as an office) and two full bathrooms surrounding the home's original staircase, all with a blend of original features and attractive updates. Finished basement offers a large recreation room with fireplace, full bathroom, separate laundry and crafts room, another home office or workout room, and generous storage. Beautiful hardwood floors through the home, newer windows and skylights, custom kitchen cabinetry w/island, Bosch and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, extensive silestone countertop space, pantry, and banquette for casual dining. Maintenance-free exterior deck and tile roofing on home. Newer boiler and AC plus sewer back-up installed in the yard. Large brick garage w/floor drain has insulated overhead door and additional parking pad next to garage. Huge attic space could easily be converted to so much extra living space! This glorious home is a "must see"!
