About This Home

As of July 2025

STEP INTO A STORYBOOK AT THE SANTA MARIA, one of Oak Park's most striking vintage buildings. Built in the 1920s in the French Gothic style, this architectural gem is guarded by expressive terra cotta gargoyles and adorned with ornate detailing that turns heads and sparks curiosity. These aren't just ornamental details, they're conversation starters, perched along the roofline like something out of a Parisian cathedral. Inside Unit 3N, classic vintage charm meets everyday comfort. Tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and original millwork create a warm, gracious atmosphere, while a bright, functional layout makes the space easy to enjoy now or personalize over time. Closet space is surprisingly generous, offering the kind of storage rarely found in vintage buildings. Located in the very heart of Oak Park, The Santa Maria puts you just steps from Scoville Park, the Green Line, the main library, and an abundance of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Whether you're commuting, strolling, or grabbing coffee around the corner, everything you need is right outside your door. Vintage charm, a walk-to-everything location, and closet space you won't believe- come for the lifestyle, stay for the gargoyles.
