Property Description
Situated in the heart of Oak Park, this beautifully renovated, 5-bedroom, 3.1-bath classic American Foursquare home blends timeless charm with modern functionality. Thoughtfully redesigned over the past decade, the home is filled with natural light from abundant windows and offers an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The welcoming covered porch leads into a gracious first floor foyer with an open staircase leading to the basement and second level. The bright, front living and dining rooms with abundant windows flow seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen boasting generous cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a peninsula for casual dining, and stainless-steel appliances. Tucked discreetly off the kitchen, a versatile family room provides exceptional flexibility. A standout feature of the home is its two primary suite options. The first-floor suite offers a private ensuite bath, making it an ideal guest retreat, while a second expansive primary suite awaits on the upper level. A convenient powder room and private, home office completes the main level. Upstairs, a charming loft with built-in bench and storage creates a stylish landing space for reading or playtime. Two spacious bedrooms with excellent closet space share a large, updated hall bath. The rear primary suite impresses with a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, a generous walk-in shower, a separate soaking tub, and a custom walk-in closet with built-ins and second-floor laundry. A pull-down staircase with space for a potential permanent option, leads to a 3rd level, finished attic hideaway - ideal for creative use or clean storage. The walkout basement adds even more living space, including a large rec / playroom, summer kitchen / 2nd laundry room, a 5th potential bedroom / exercise room, extensive storage areas - in-law suite? Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a deck off the family room leading to a large, newly fenced, professionally landscaped backyard with new Unilock paver patio on a rare 50-foot-wide lot - perfect for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing. A spacious 2 car garage has been newly updated for electric car charging, and a private parking pad complete the property. So many cosmetic and utility updates throughout including a new tear-off roof and updated water service, provide added peace of mind. Enjoy an unbeatable location close to FoxCenter - rec. & play park, near downtown, the train, cafes, grocery, and more. Wow!
