About This Home

As of April 2023

Big and bright Oak Park charmer with tons of character, updates, space, and light beckons! Step into the welcoming foyer and appreciate the gleaming hardwood floors, tons of natural light from the tall, bright windows, and a spacious floor plan that's perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The oversized, sunny, generous living room is perfect for gathering with loved ones and features a beautiful decorative fireplace, gorgeous stained glass, and plenty of room for multiple conversation areas and opens to the large sunroom area that's great for cozy afternoons, work at home, or even a play space, while thoughtful details like custom built-in window bench radiator covers add charm and bonus seating. Across the foyer, the spacious dining room showcases designer paint colors and lighting, practical and fashionable wainscotting and loads of windows and is ready for your largest holiday gatherings! Thoughtfully designed kitchen (fully remodeled in 2016) makes whipping up your gourmet meals a breeze with a smart layout and miles of quartz countertops, tons of storage with quality wood cabinetry, deep stainless farmhouse sink, all stainless appliances including an oversized refrigerator and bonus beverage fridge. Just off the kitchen you'll find a lovely, sunny bonus room that's currently a family room but would also make a great office or breakfast nook. Two large hall closets and a first-floor powder room complete this level. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to the fantastic four-bedroom second level. Here you'll find a large and bright primary suite with plenty of space for a king bed, a large walk-in closet and a stylish bathroom with beautiful wood vanity and gorgeous tile work. Three additional large, sunny bedrooms, all with fantastic windows and hardwood flooring and a spacious, bright, and clean hallway bath with beautiful tile work and finishes round out this level. And there's even more room to spread out in the two-year new, completely renovated, large lower level! It showcases a huge family room; a lovely wet bar/kitchenette; cross-functional spaces currently used as a home gym, lounge and play areas; a sunny bedroom with a large closet; a magazine-ready laundry room; a gorgeous full bath with designer tile, and additional storage. This lower level could easily work as a guest/teen/in-law suite or even an Air BnB! Outside, the gorgeous, professionally landscaped and hardscaped backyard features a lovely patio area, new trees in front and back, a two-car garage plus bonus driveway parking, and loads of space for al fresco living, dining, and entertaining. Tons of updates - all new basement baseboard heat; new plumbing for basement kitchen, bath, and laundry; new ejector pit; all new basement electric; 19 new windows in the home (2020-2021); new power line to garage; new concrete driveway; new outdoor patio and fire pit and so much more. All of this in a stately Oak Park brick home with classic tile roof, tons of space, and large private yard in the coveted Mann school district on a quiet block full of friendly neighbors close to parks and transit with nothing to do but move in, unpack and enjoy. This is the one you've been waiting for--welcome home!
