About This Home

As of August 2019

Admired by neighbors and passers-by for years, featured on the Oak Park River Forest House Walk in 2017, this graceful Prairie style home on historic William Street is a shining example of thoughtful restoration & attention to detail. Note the generous room sizes, bands of windows & open flow on the first floor. Large kitchen/family room addition boasts a butler's pantry & cathedral ceiling, skylights & french doors opening to a beautiful backyard retreat. Designed and landscaped for privacy, it's easy to forget you are mere blocks from it all: award-winning District 90 schools, Metra, CTA & downtown Oak Park. Feature Sheet & Floor Plan available, highlights include replacement windows throughout (except the original art glass windows) and a 1950's diner-style basement rec room & full bath.
