About This Home
As of September 2020Welcome! Take a step back in time to this 1883 Victorian near all that is great in Historic Oak Park. This truly grand home has been lovingly cared for and has been in the same family for forty plus years. Gorgeous bullseye trim work frames the exterior and interior. 1800's charm and character are found the moment you enter the foyer, which features the original bannister and custom designed flooring. The home unfolds from the foyer through French doors to the music room or through the open doorway into the spacious 31-foot living room with brick fireplace. The fireplace in the music room showcases original mantel and tiles and was also lovingly restored. The spacious dining room features an original, beautiful inlaid hardwood floor. The first floor also includes an island kitchen, separate breakfast room, family room, powder room and enclosed rear porch. This home has four fireplaces, soaring ceilings, pocket doors and the original restored hardware from the 1870's. The second level features four bedrooms, many older homes have limited storage but two of these bedrooms have mirrored ceiling to floor, wall to wall closets. Fireplaces in the master and a second bedroom, a large laundry/game room, a sleeping porch and 1.5 baths. The partially finished third floor has two bedrooms, a common room a bonus space and bath. Tucked away in the lower level is a 2.5 room rental apartment with living room, bedroom with walk-in closet, office/library space, lane kitchen and a bath. The unit features tall windows, its own entryway, washer/dryer and peaceful surroundings. There is so much to see, love, and admire in this 5+BR 3/2BA Victorian perfectly situated on a jumbo-sized lot in the heart of Historic Oak Park. Amazing bones, a pretty yard and a prime location in this very walkable community. Close to CTA, Ridgeland Commons Recreation center, Farmers Market. Pilgrim Pre- School across the street, Beye School, Oak Park River Forest High School, Pete's Fresh Market and so much more. All await the new owner who is looking for a special jewel of a property. This much loved home is being conveyed in "as-is" condition.
