Description
Strike a pose! New color palate (2021) inside and out enhances this 3 story Farmhouse Victorian in the heart of Oak Park. Sitting boldly across from the FLW Home and Studio this house is primed to showcase its light filled, renovated interior. The welcoming front porch opens to a surprisingly open layout with stunning views from every window. The sellers have made so many improvements it's almost too much to list, including refinishing or replacing the hardwood floors. Relocating the 1st floor 1/2 bath to make room for a walk in pantry! White cabinet kitchen, with extra large windows with views of the park! New stainless steel appliances, beautiful white quartz counters and subway tile backsplash and an exposed brick chimney pull the look together. This space is completely open to the large family room so you don't miss a thing. Not to be missed, there is a wonderful home office on the 1st floor that could be used as a bedroom. Two staircases to the 2nd floor enhance the flexible floor plan. The primary bedroom is a delight with a huge walk in closet with custom closet designed storage, French Doors to the upstairs private balcony for people watching or star gazing and a new, magazine worthy, primary bath with soaking tub and walk in shower, WOW! Three additional ample bedrooms with closet organizers and a new, generous hall bath with double sinks, grace this floor. Best of all there is a large 2nd floor laundry room with new side-by-side washer & dryer for total convenience. The 3rd floor offers you several options including a workout area, 5th bedroom currently used as a playroom but it would make a superb guest/nanny room and full bath. Basement is terrific storage with updated mechanicals including an on demand HW heater. Exit out the back door to the entry deck and fenced yard and the 2 car garage with an additional parking spot. This outstanding home is only 3 blocks to the Metra or Green Line train, The Lake Theater, The Main OP Library, schools and TJ's too! A long list of favorite restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, book stores and Peterson's Ice Cream! Make sure you visit the famous Oak Park Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings during the summer. This is an exceptional home in a vibrant location. See it today and make it yours.
