Description
Timeless brick Colonial elegance meets beautifully updated modern living in this exceptional Northwest Oak Park home. Ideally located overlooking Kenilworth Parkway and just one block from Mann Elementary. With over 3,500 finished square feet, this 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath home offers gracious living spaces, classic architectural details, and thoughtful updates throughout. Step through the original arched wood front door into the inviting central foyer, where the character of the home immediately takes center stage. The spacious living room offers abundant natural light, a remote-start gas fireplace, and custom plantation shutters throughout. The heart of the home is the showstopping chef's kitchen, renovated in 2019 with custom cabinetry, stone countertops, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a dual 30-inch wine refrigerator, and multiple areas for dining and entertaining. Overlooking the backyard and new paver patio, this exceptional kitchen is designed equally for everyday living and entertaining. Refinished hardwood floors flow seamlessly across the first floor and continue up the stairs and second-floor hallway. A beautifully renovated powder room and dedicated first-floor office overlooking the backyard complete the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with a sunken tub, rain shower, and heated floors. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family and guests, including one with an en-suite bath, while the remaining two share a large, bright hall bathroom. The beautifully landscaped outdoor living space features a custom gas fireplace, paver patio, custom lighting, and updated irrigation, creating an inviting extension of the home. Additional improvements include some Pella windows, restored oak flooring, roof updates with copper chimney flashing, zoned Wi-Fi-enabled speakers throughout the home and outdoor spaces, dedicated heating in the kitchen and powder room, and a partially finished basement with epoxy flooring. All-brick construction with a distinctive clay tile roof, 2-car garage with brick driveway and potential for alley access, exceptional updates, and an unbeatable location make this a truly special offering.
