About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to this distinctive 3-story townhouse, nestled on a tree-lined street in Oak Park's coveted Frank Lloyd Wright Historical District. Offering the perfect blend of timeless character and modern conveniences, this residence feels more like a single-family home, with the added benefit of being one of only two units. The main floor features an open-concept layout ideal for both entertaining and daily living. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and ample counter space. The adjacent dining room flows seamlessly into two separate living areas, one of which boasts a cozy wood-burning fireplace flanked by custom built-ins. From here, step out onto a private deck and enjoy the serene, beautifully landscaped backyard. On the second floor, the expansive primary bedroom is a true retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings and generous closet space with custom built-in organizers. Two additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, while a second full bath and convenient stackable washer and dryer complete this level. The third-floor loft offers a flexible space with a vaulted ceiling, perfect for a bedroom, playroom, home office, or additional living area. Two connected additional rooms provide even more space for your needs. Other highlights include hardwood floors throughout, a heated two-car attached garage, and the unique benefit of a townhouse that feels like a private residence. With its proximity to Oak Park's historic landmarks, parks, dining, and public transit, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the area.
