    Tall ceilingsVenting exhaustBig bright windowsPull-out pantryBeautiful copious windowsExtra storage spaceFully-renovated kitchen
    ** Multiple Offers Received. Highest and Best Deadline Monday, Apr 20th at 2:00 pm ** Charming, surprisingly spacious, neat as a pin, all-brick, move-in ready bungalow in Lincoln school beckons! The inviting, generous front porch with its swing welcomes you into a foyer where you can pause to appreciate the tall ceilings, gleaming maple hardwood floors, and beautiful, copious windows! Gather with loved ones in the oversized living room, drenched in light from the wall of front windows, with plenty of space for multiple conversation areas--perfect for entertaining or for cozy nights in. Easily host your largest holiday parties in the adjacent, massive dining room. Cooking your gourmet meals or snacks is a dream come true in the fully-renovated kitchen! This thoughtfully-designed space has everything you've been looking for--miles of granite countertops; a huge center island with seating; loads of quality, bright cabinetry; pull-out pantry; extra storage space; all stainless appliances including a double oven and brand new cook top; venting exhaust; an extra-large, deep sink with touch faucet; and big, bright windows. This first floor level also features three large bedrooms, all with bright, tall windows and generous closets! A beautiful, fully renovated serene hallway bath boasting gorgeous tiling; original, oversized bathtub, and fresh paint is convenient for guests and everyday living. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to your private, en-suite oasis! This lovely, spacious, sunlit room has a great closet, bonus closet and storage, and its own en-suite bath with walk-in shower and built-in storage. And, there's room to expand even further into the unfinished portion of the attic, which is bright, tall, and ready for your finishing ideas. You may not be thinking of more space, though, once you've seen the amazingly renovated, high and dry lower level! The 3-years new, fully reimagined, massive space offers an enormous family room that's currently a TV room, pool room, and game room space, including a dry bar with beverage cooler, a powder room for easy entertaining and exercise spaces too with new windows and ejector pit! The laundry room boasts extra storage and a sink, and there are additional storage closets throughout the basement. Al-fresco, you'll find even more to love. Off the kitchen is a fabulous three-season porch that leads to a charming backyard with a brick paver patio and an extra-wide 2.5 car garage that was formerly a coach house! The second floor of the garage offers additional storage, and there's plenty of grassy and garden areas as well. This home has modern amenities (updated lighting, central air, ejector pit!) with vintage charm (woodwork, ceiling height, windows!) and so much has been redone in this home - exterior and interior paint ('26); gut basement remodel with new windows, new powder room, ejector pit and overhead sewer ('23); first floor bath ('18); gut kitchen renovation ('13); 200 Amp service ('13) and more. All the space, light, features, and updates you've been searching for, all on one of the friendliest blocks, in a fantastic south Oak Park location down the street from Lincoln Elementary school and park, pool, dog parks, shopping, coffee, ice cream, restaurants, groceries, public transportation, the El, 290, and so much more! This is the one you've been waiting for--all you have to do is move in and enjoy summer! Welcome home.
