Property Description
Welcome home to 821 N Grove, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath bungalow where timeless character meets modern updates. Set on a picturesque North Oak Park block, a charming brick paver walkway leads to a welcoming screened-in front porch-perfect for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. Inside, enjoy easy first-floor living with two bedrooms on the main level. The living room features a cozy gas fireplace, while the living and dining rooms showcase leaded glass windows, original woodwork, and hardwood floors; the dining room is highlighted by an original built-in hutch. The completely renovated kitchen is both stylish & functional featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinetry with glass inlays, and a bright eat-in nook overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. The main floor bathroom has been thoughtfully updated with tile finishes, a walk-in shower, and luxurious heated floors. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet. The fully renovated basement adds over 800 square feet of additional living space, featuring new flooring and lighting, a fully renovated second full bath, a true third bedroom with egress, a storage room, and a spacious laundry area. Step outside to your own private retreat-a fully fenced, deep yard filled with mature landscaping, including a magnolia tree, lilacs, hydrangeas, and a variety of perennials. The oversized, newly stained deck with a built-in gas line is ready for effortless outdoor entertaining. Ideally located near Mann Elementary, Lindberg Park, Field Rec Center, public transportation, I-290, and all the conveniences of downtown Oak Park, this move-in ready home offers the perfect blend of charm, thoughtful updates, and everyday convenience.
