This beautifully renovated home offers the perfect combination of timeless charm and modern peace of mind. Nearly every major system has been thoughtfully updated, delivering exceptional quality, comfort, and confidence for today's buyer. The versatile floor plan features three bedrooms on the second level, along with a first-floor bedroom that also makes an ideal home office or guest room. A full bathroom is conveniently located on every level of the home. The spacious first-floor family room with vaulted ceilings provides an inviting gathering space, while the finished basement offers an additional family room and full bath, creating flexible living space for entertaining, guests, or everyday living. Behind the walls, the home has been extensively updated with all-new plumbing, a new electrical system, a new copper water service line, a new HVAC system, and a new hot water heater. The roof was replaced in 2020, providing added peace of mind. The interior has been completely transformed with a beautifully redesigned kitchen featuring an improved layout, all-new appliances, stylish new bathrooms, and updated finishes throughout. New flooring, trim, lighting, and fresh paint create a bright, cohesive aesthetic that blends classic character with modern design. Additional improvements include all-new windows, insulation installed to meet Village of Oak Park code, and updated egress-compliant basement windows where required, enhancing both energy efficiency and comfort. Outside, the upgrades continue with a brand-new 2.5-car garage, with capacity for an EV charger, new concrete patio and sidewalks, new aluminum gutters and soffits, new rear vinyl siding, new fencing, fresh landscaping, and new sod-creating an attractive, low-maintenance exterior. The location is just as impressive. Enjoy an exceptional walk-to-everything lifestyle with easy access to schools, parks, shopping, dining, and both CTA and Metra transportation.
