About This Home

As of April 2023

This standout home beautifully balances restored original elements from 1908 with the thoughtful, modern functionality that today's buyers expect in a luxury renovation. ALL electrical, plumbing, mechanicals, appliances, landscaping, and even the water lines to and from the village are BRAND NEW and fully-permitted! Our village inspection reports are available! All original stained glass has been professionally restored, looks fantastic, and really brings a beautiful glow to the main level of the home. The layout has also been reimagined to update the home from radiant heat to HVAC, as well as to maximize the use of space throughout! --- This stately home is centered on an extra-wide lot with a 3-car garage, complete with a "party door" that opens up towards the fully-fenced back yard. There's also a bonus concrete parking pad with its own access gate for guests. The entire property has been professionally-landscaped with all perennial plants, and you'll find electrical outlets, motion lights, and other thoughtful touches all around the exterior. --- Inside you will find a chef's kitchen with extra-large quartz countertops, a deep stainless steel sink with a high-pressure spray nozzle, an antique mirrored backsplash, exposed shelving, custom cabinetry with hidden outlets for seamless appliance storage, and many other luxurious touches. The kitchen appliances are Samsung's new Bespoke line, in white glass, for easy cleaning and a no-fingerprint finish! The one-of-a-kind, natural polished Travertine kitchen floors flow into to the formal dining room with its richly-refinished, original hardwood floors, a delicate chandelier, a deep storage closet, a charming bay window, and a bonus breakfast room with elegant stained glass. The spacious living room has a variety of layout options, the same rich original hardwoods, and the fully-restored original staircase and front door! The staircase used to split into the kitchen, making both rooms seem much smaller, and before photos are available! One of the home's best features its it's extra-large enclosed front porch for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs you will find a primary bedroom suite (very unique for the area) with original hardwoods, space for a king-sized bed and additional furniture, and an impressive dressing room/designer spa bath with an extra large shower and pocket door for privacy. Down the hall are two more spacious bedrooms with ample closet space, as well as a shared full bathroom with a brand new tub and new tempered glass window that was uncovered during construction. The second and third bedrooms have plush carpet with blonde hardwood underneath. The attic houses a finished room for the HVAC, and access to the rest of the unifished basement. The fully-finished lower level is complete with a spacious family room, laundry area, great-sized bedroom with a walk-in closet and brand new egress windows. You'll also find another FULL spa bath with a custom vanity and walk-in shower. The basement also has separate access to the rear exit for a semi in-law arrangement option. The lower level bedroom was outfitted with extra USB outlets on all walls in case it is to be used as an office or gaming room. --- As you walk the home, you will feel its rich history and appreciate its beautiful new layout and finishes. This is not a flip. This is a thoughtful rejuvenation. --- Situated on a friendly, tree-lined block with beautiful homes and beautiful historic Oak Park touches all around, with easy access to 290 without seeing or hearing it! Easy Chicago access via the highway or surface streets, easy access to the Blue or Green Lines, close proximity to the village office, schools, parks, cafes, restaurants, and Downtown Oak Park. A great home in a desirable area with fantastic schools! --- See our video tour and feature sheet!
