Description
Presenting this tastefully updated 3-bedroom, 3.1-bath Georgian Revival home, perfectly blending timeless architecture with modern enhancements in the heart of Oak Park. Classic double bay windows anchor the main level, highlighting the home's architectural details and creating bright, inviting spaces throughout. Pristine refinished hardwood floors flow seamlessly throughout and lead to a dramatic custom staircase with oak and iron railings. The expansive living room offers flexible, multi-sectional living space accented by recessed lighting and modern finishes, anchored by a marble wood-burning fireplace that preserves the home's original 1941 character. The dining room easily accommodates large gatherings and flows naturally into the chef's kitchen, featuring a six-burner KitchenAid range with oversized hood, complementary stainless-steel appliances, 42-inch cabinetry, quartz countertops, and ample storage. A well-appointed breakfast nook overlooks the serene backyard oasis, while the main level is completed by a powder room with elegant marble flooring and a timeless pedestal sink. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a spacious custom-built walk-in closet and a spa-inspired en suite bath with heated floors, double vanity, and a large walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath with heated flooring and a soaking tub complete the upper level. Descend to the finished lower level providing additional living space with plush new carpeting, a second wood-burning fireplace, a generous full bath with walk-in shower, and abundant storage. The laundry room is equipped with washer/dryer and offers ample space for additional storage and a private home gym. Outdoors, enjoy a professionally landscaped and secured backyard oasis with privacy fencing and coyote rollers, a large deck, custom paver walkways, and an in-ground sprinkler system. Mature trees provide ample shade, making the yard ideal for entertaining or relaxing on warm summer afternoons. Recent updates include newer windows, a new tankless water heater with water purifier and upgraded CO2 system for enhanced water pressure, a new sump pump with battery backup, dehumidifier, and zoned HVAC. This exceptional home seamlessly combines classic elegance, modern comfort, and thoughtful upgrades in one of Oak Park's most desirable settings less than 2 miles from downtown Oak Park, near highly rated schools and parks.
