About This Home

As of May 2021

A gracious north Oak Park home is ready for its next owners to make new traditions and lasting memories. This grand, brick side entrance colonial bridges the traditional to the contemporary lifestyle with expansive entertaining areas and perfect spaces for family gatherings, work, study and private retreat. The light and bright open feel begins in the elegant living room with multiple seating areas, arched windows looking over Taylor Park, a fireplace framed by 4 art glass windows and built in shelves carries all the way through a formal dining room to the open concept kitchen/breakfast/family room. A 2017 custom renovation of this kitchen, family room and breakfast room area becomes the heart of a busy home and LMA Interiors helped create its warm ambiance. In warm weather the flow continues to the screened porch and deck area overlooking the fenced and professionally landscaped yard. A large library/office provides a separate work and home study area on the first floor. Three generously sized bedrooms plus a primary suite with a lovely updated bath and sitting room / office are on the 2nd floor. The unfinished massive attic space (plumbed for a bathroom by the previous owners) could be another primary suite, home office or upstairs family room! A huge basement offers even more informal recreation space, another office, a 5th bedroom and full bath. Storage galore!!! This home is close to elementary schools, parks, the North Avenue Business District and public transportation to the city. 939 North Elmwood has been carefully and thoughtfully maintained and updated over the years. Really, the best of suburban living in a vibrant and active community so close to Chicago! And, certainly a very special home to call yours in Oak Park.
