About This Home
Magical architecture, coveted location! Welcome to one of 3 largest units at The Villa Grove Condominiums, a remarkable Art Deco Gem nestled in the heart of Oak Park. This penthouse residence is light and bright with treetop views and perfectly situated on a quiet corner, steps north of Scoville Park and amongst the historic homes of the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District. This 3 bedroom, 2 Full bath unit has 1500 sq ft of living space, with large room sizes throughout. Enjoy original architectural detailing, including the barrel ceiling dining room while enjoying a cocktail with friends or a special meal. Breathe in the history while reading Hemingway by the Juliet balcony with French doors open. Cook your best meals in the vintage china brick kitchen with a wall of floor-to ceiling original cabinetry and built-ins. The practical perks? In-unit laundry and tons of storage - 7 closets (One cedar!) in addition to a basement storage unit. Be sure to check out the peaceful courtyard down the back stairs with multiple seating areas and a gas grill. All this, close to Scoville Park, the Library, shopping, dining and commuter lines to downtown. Permit parking adjacent to the building at $159/quarter. A truly exceptional condo that lives like a house!
