About This Home

As of February 2025

Highest & Best Due 1/20 at 7PM. Why Visit Oak Park When You Can Live Here? Nestled in the heart of Oak Park, a community celebrated for its architectural legacy and vibrant character, 338 S East Ave invites you to embrace a life where vintage charm meets modern convenience. Known as the hometown of Frank Lloyd Wright, Oak Park's rich history and dynamic culture make it a truly one-of-a-kind place to call home. And now, this stunning property can be yours. This 1,200+ square foot condo lives like a single-family home, offering both space and style. From the moment you step into the grand foyer, you're greeted by the warmth of hardwood floors, elegant cove molding, and the timeless allure of original glass-knob doors. The charm doesn't stop there-the arched doorways, lovingly referred to as the "chef's kiss" of design, tie the home's vintage aesthetic together seamlessly. The living room is an expansive 12x19 space flooded with natural light, making it a paradise for plant enthusiasts and a cozy haven for furry friends. With ample room for a sectional couch, bookcases, and your entertainment setup, this space is perfect for hosting movie nights or book clubs. The built-ins, wainscoting, and intricate craftsmanship add a touch of elegance to every corner. For those who love to entertain, the 15x11 formal dining room offers a bright and inviting space. Complete with beautiful built-ins and the perfect amount of wall space for showcasing artwork or family photos, it's ideal for dinner parties or quiet evenings at home. The kitchen is a chef's dream, combining functionality with style. Featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a butcher block prep space, and plenty of cabinet storage (including a pantry), this kitchen is ready to handle everything from casual breakfasts to elaborate holiday feasts. The dishwasher, installed in 2021, is a welcome modern addition to this thoughtfully designed space. Retreat to the primary bedroom, a spacious 15x10 room large enough to accommodate a full bedroom set. With a fresh coat of paint (2020) and an updated ceiling fan and light fixture, this room offers comfort and tranquility. The second bedroom (11x10) is equally versatile, featuring a closet with in-unit laundry and additional storage. Whether used as a guest room, home office, or creative studio, this room adapts effortlessly to your needs. The bathroom is a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern updates, showcasing its original tile alongside new light fixtures (2020) and regrouting (2022). The large soaking tub offers a relaxing escape at the end of a long day. This home has been thoughtfully maintained with updates including fresh paint (2020), new ceiling fans and light fixtures (2020), and regrouted tile work (2022). Beyond the unit itself, the building has seen significant improvements over the years, such as horizontal pipe replacement and new windows in 2015, refinished back stairs in 2020, and extensive tuck-pointing in 2021. Major upgrades in 2024 include chimney tuck-pointing, facade repair and repainting, and the installation of a new boiler. Adding to its appeal is the easy, permitted street parking just steps from your door and an unbeatable location in Oak Park. The property is within walking distance of the Green Line (0.4 miles), Blue Line (0.7 miles), and Metra UP-W (0.7 miles), as well as several bus lines. Nearby parks, such as Ridgeland Commons and Fox Park, provide access to outdoor recreation, while Downtown Oak Park offers a vibrant mix of boutiques, dining, nightlife, and Trader Joe's. Why just visit Oak Park when you can experience its charm every day? With its rich history, timeless character, and modern upgrades, 338 S East Ave is more than a home-it's a lifestyle.
