About This Home

As of June 2025

1309 Martin offers a coveted one-story layout in the heart of Oak Forest. This split floor plan features a chef’s kitchen with a walk-in pantry, extra storage, ample counter space, and an eat-in breakfast bar. Original hardwoods, updated recessed lighting, and modern fixtures add charm. The formal dining and family room are anchored by a central fireplace and tall ceilings—a rarity for the area. Two secondary bedrooms and a full bath sit on one side, while the spa-like primary suite enjoys privacy on the other. The suite boasts a second fireplace, private HVAC, soaking tub, dual vanities, seamless shower, and direct backyard access. The backyard is a gardener’s dream with lush space for play and foliage. A covered veranda is perfect for summer nights and winter dreams, and a HOT TUB invites you to relax under the stars. Abundant natural light pours through double-pane windows. Zoned to Oak Forest Elementary with easy access to 610, I-10, 290, 45, and all that GOOF has to offer.
