As of May 2025Step into history with this remarkable 1858 home, once the site of Oak Park's first post office! Nestled in the highly coveted Historical District, this home is an artist's canvas for someone with the creativity to take this well-built, timeless, and charming home into modern luxury. Oak Park offers the best of both worlds just 10 miles from downtown Chicago. Oak Park is a cultural gem, boasting 25 Frank Lloyd Wright buildings (the highest concentration worldwide), connections to Ernest Hemingway, and a vibrant community filled with galleries, boutiques, renowned restaurants, and exciting events. Inside, the home features 9-foot ceilings and a large formal dining room that opens to an inviting living room with views of the open staircase. The spacious eat-in kitchen includes a convenient first-floor powder room, perfect for entertaining. Upstairs, the second-floor foyer connects to 4 large rooms, offering flexible options for bedrooms, a den, or office space. The backyard is a serene retreat, highlighted by a magnificent magnolia tree and a two-story garage built in the mid-1990s, zoned for expansion if desired. With a roof just 5 years old, this home is ready for its next chapter. Whether you're drawn by its historical significance, its incredible location, or its thoughtful design, this Oak Park treasure is truly one-of-a-kind!
