Property Description
Nestled in the heart of the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District, this remarkable Village of Oak Park home traces its roots to 1903, when the original permit was pulled by owner Adolph G. Burtar and constructed by the renowned Pillinger Brothers. Over 120 years later, the craftsmanship and character of that era remain beautifully intact. The street presence is welcoming and stately, drawing you in before you ever reach the front door - and what a front door it is. Solid wood with true brass and iron hardware, a vintage tile floor, double benches with storage, brass hooks, and an abundance of stained glass in perfect condition make the front entrance a true introduction to everything this home has to offer. Step into the foyer and be greeted by intricate quarter-sawn oak carvings, soaring ceilings, tall baseboards, elegant moldings, and large sun-filled rooms that speak to a level of craftsmanship rarely found today. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 1 half bath, and 2 offices above grade spread across three floors of living, there is truly room for everyone. And then comes the amazing surprise - a brand new, fully appointed 1-bedroom apartment in the basement, accessible from both the exterior and the front foyer. Whether for a live-in nanny, grandparents, exchange students, or a graduate student, the flexibility this space offers is nothing short of brilliant. The outdoors are fantastic at 530 too! Al fresco living begins on the screened-in porch just off the kitchen, where you can relax overlooking a large, lovely backyard with mature plantings, a paver patio, and a tranquil water feature. Two-car garage parking plus an additional parking space ensure practicality - though you may find yourself walking more often than not. This incredibly central location puts you just a 5 minute walk from Oak Park River Forest High School and the Farmer's Market, 10 minutes to Whittier Elementary, 15 minutes to the El train, and 20 minutes to the movies, shops, and restaurants that make Oak Park one of Chicagoland's most beloved communities. This is not just a home - it is a piece of living history.
