About This Home
As of May 2022Welcome home to this classic Oak Park American Four Square! This is it! Beginning with the large front porch, this house is made for entertaining family and friends. The generous foyer leads into an open living room/dining room, which offers flexible space and features a row of gorgeous stained glass windows! The beamed ceiling in the dining room is another special feature. The first floor has a half bath, and the kitchen is well designed, with a coffee bar, a breakfast bar or buffet area, and loads of cabinets. Featuring granite counters and maple cabinets, this is a kitchen you can cook in all day! Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms and a huge, gorgeous remodeled bathroom, with a separate soaking tub a walk in shower, and dual sinks! There is flexibility to use one of the second floor bedrooms as a Master if you prefer. The southeast bedroom has a fabulous walk in closet! Through one of the bedrooms is the stairway to the third floor, which can also be used as a Master suite. The third floor bath has also been remodeled, and there is storage galore on this level. The basement is high and dry, and a nice sized room could be finished, or simply use it for storage. One of the most special assets of this home is a fantastic fully fenced in backyard with a huge deck, fantastic side yard, and lovely, low maintenance landscaping. Raised planter beds can provide fresh vegetables and herbs all summer long. Perfect location: easy walk to Green Line, Metra, Blue Line, and downtown Oak Park! Coveted Lincoln school is the elementary school, and Brooks is the middle school. Don't miss this very special home--nothing to do here but move in and have a party! House available to show for back-up offers.
