About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to 117 S Grove Ave, a charming brick 2-flat nestled in the heart of Oak Park. This meticulously updated residence boasts an inviting aura that harmoniously blends classic architecture with modern amenities. Enter to discover a world where the warmth of hardwood floors flows seamlessly throughout both units, creating a sense of continuity and elegance in each of the spacious bedrooms and across the communal living spaces. The updated kitchens are a culinary enthusiast's dream, featuring sleek countertops and state-of-the-art appliances that cater to both casual meals and grand dinner parties. The baths are sanctuaries of relaxation, having been thoughtfully renovated to offer a spa-like experience with contemporary fixtures and finishes that promise a serene start and end to your day. The home's new roof, installed in 2022, ensures peace of mind, while the large, fenced yard invites you to bask in the tranquility of your private outdoor oasis. The covered back porches provide a cozy nook for sipping your morning coffee or enjoying the cool evening breeze. Entertain guests or simply unwind on the patio, where the elegant pergola stands as a testament to leisurely afternoons spent under the sun-dappled shade. The four exterior parking spaces offer ample room for vehicles, a convenience that cannot be overstated. Located just moments from vibrant downtown Oak Park, this home is a stone's throw away from an array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options. The commuter train, a mere two blocks away, offers swift access to downtown Chicago, making it a commuter's dream. On weekends, indulge in the local flavors of the Farmers Market, enrich your mind at the nearby library, or enjoy relaxing at Scoville Park. 117 S Grove Ave is a lifestyle waiting to be cherished. Don't miss the opportunity to make this Oak Park gem your own. Home is in great shape but being offered as-is.
