Description

Welcome to your dream Dutch Colonial on one of Oak Park's most beloved blocks! Set on a spacious corner lot, this radiant home is flooded with natural light and offers an inviting, open feel from the moment you arrive. The expansive living room is perfect for entertaining or relaxing, featuring multiple cozy seating areas, gleaming hardwood floors, and an enclosed sun porch ideal for reading, working, or enjoying morning coffee. Gather with family and friends in this luminous, welcoming space. Hosting holidays or dinner parties? The generous formal dining room is made for celebrations, and a versatile bonus room just off it offers endless possibilities-think playroom, home office, or family room. The bright newly painted, cheerful kitchen has a new stainless steel and butcher block work table, new fridge and oven, and boasts a huge walk-in pantry and tons of storage, with the potential to easily open to the dining area for that modern flow you've been dreaming of. A large mudroom makes everyday life a breeze-perfect for shoes, gear, and furry friends. A chic half bath completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find a sun-drenched primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, two additional spacious bedrooms with large closets, and a full bath. The high-ceilinged, unfinished basement offers fantastic expansion potential-bring your ideas! But so many updates in the basement including a new washer and dryer, a new overhead sewer system with new sewer stack and update. New drain tile and water prevention system with pumps, a new water vapor barrier installation, and an updated electrical box and panel. A radon mitigation system was installed in 2017. The entire home also received electrical updates with the lines, switches, outlets and lighting. Rest assured that you are safe with the newly installed whole house connected fire and CO2 alert system. And talk about curb appeal! The entire home received tuck pointing and sealing of the exterior basement walls, a stucco update and painted trim and a "Gutter Gard" system installed. The flashing on the chimney was redone and the topper upgraded. You're the envy of the neighbors with the new landscape installation including features like underground gutters to pull water away from the house, local plants and hardscape for improved drainage and ecosystem. Out back, the large, low-maintenance fenced yard is perfect for gatherings, gardening, or just enjoying a peaceful evening. The two-car garage with a wide apron provides ample parking a third car for guests! All this in a friendly, tight-knit neighborhood-just steps from top-rated schools, beautiful parks, the library, and easy transit options. Fun tidbit: Annually the block hosts incredible block parties, with bounce houses, DJs, movie showings, and food+beverages. This move-in ready gem is more than a house-it's the perfect place to create your next chapter. Welcome home!
