Its classic all-brick exterior is enhanced by professional landscaping, an in-ground irrigation system, and a newer paver patio- perfect for effortless outdoor entertaining. Inside, sun-filled living spaces and rich hardwood floors create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a 2024 Frigidaire induction range with hood, and flows seamlessly into both a formal dining room and a cozy breakfast area.

Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a separate sitting area, walk-in closet, and a newly renovated bathroom.

Additional highlights include zoned central air conditioning, a smart thermostat, newer windows with soundproof glass in select rooms, and a durable clay tile roof with updated underlayment and copper flashing. Recent improvements such as new gutters, tuckpointing, and steel lintels further enhance the home's quality and longevity. A two-car garage plus an additional parking pad add everyday convenience. Ideally located, this home is within walking distance to Lindberg Park, Field Park, and Taylor Park, as well as local dining favorites including Oki Sushi and Thai, Hacienda Memos, Michael's Beef House, The Onion Roll, and Na Siam Thai. Nearby attractions like Wonder Works Children's Museum, along with a top-rated school system and the vibrant amenities of the Oak Park Park District, further enhance the appeal of this historic home.
