About This Home

As of July 2024

Bright, updated, spacious, and peaceful, this 3rd floor 1 bed/1bath in an elevator building in the heart of Forest Park also comes with assigned parking. The kitchen was updated with new white quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, an island, and refreshed and painted cabinets in 2022; flooring and paint throughout the unit is also new. The main living area features ample space for both a full-sized dining area (and/or home office) and large sectional sofa with room to spare. Sight lines from the kitchen through the dining and living areas and out to the lovely balcony (with room for a grill, seating, and planter boxes) make the space perfect for entertaining. The large bedroom, with two generous closets, makes the space perfect for a couple and could also fit a desk for WFH. This unit features central AC and heat (no inefficient wall or window units), four massive closets, plus a storage unit, and there is in-building laundry and a trash chute. This condo is blocks to two charming downtowns with plenty to eat, drink, and do, plus multiple grocery stores, and while Oak Park is just across the street, this unit comes with meaningfully lower property tax rates. For commuters, there is easy access to the city or the suburbs via public transit (Metra - Oak Park, green and blue lines) or I-290.
