Property Description

Classic Oak Park Colonial - 3 Bed | 3.5 Bath Where vintage soul meets fresh, modern living This beautifully renovated center-entry Colonial is ready for its next chapter-and with a location like this, it won't wait around. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of historic Oak Park, it's surrounded by tree-lined streets, Frank Lloyd Wright landmarks, and that unmistakable Oak Park vibe. Inside, original 1920s wood paneling, custom built-ins, and gleaming hardwood floors set the stage for effortless style. A main-level bedroom and powder room add flexibility, while the flow of the home makes entertaining a breeze. Upstairs, the sun-splashed primary suite and updated bath create a serene retreat, joined by another spacious bedroom and full bath. The finished lower level is a showstopper: rustic beams, a decorative fireplace, a full bath, and plenty of room for movie nights or weekend guests. Recent upgrades include an overhead sewer (2021) plus roof and windows (2015) for peace of mind. And the highly rated William Hatch Elementary is just blocks away. Classic character, modern updates, and that unbeatable Oak Park energy-schedule a showing before it's gone!
