** Multiple Offers received. Highest and Best requested by Monday, March 2nd at 2:00 PM. ** Charming, spacious, sunlit Oak Park bungalow with room to roam beckons! A huge, open front porch invites you to step into this adorable home and appreciate the high ceilings, gleaming maple hardwood floors, and bright, tall windows! Gather with your loved ones in the spacious, sunny living room boasting a large picture window overlooking the front porch and host your holiday gatherings in the formal dining room featuring a charming built-in buffet. And cooking your gourmet meals or daily snacks is a delight in the kitchen offering loads of bright, timeless white cabinetry, miles of granite countertops, a deep double sink, all quality stainless appliances and a clever pantry nook. The generous first-level bedroom with a walk-in closet is perfect for guests, and the adorable office space off the living room makes work or study at home a breeze. The convenient first-floor bath was lovingly updated in 2020 with refinishing of the original fixtures, new subfloor and vintage-look tile and completes this level. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to find three great bedrooms, an updated bath and a bonus hangout space! The primary bedroom is serene and roomy and can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and showcases a large, organized closet. The second bedroom in the front also boasts a generous amount of space, a desk nook and an organized closet. The adorable third bedroom is a delightful escape for a teen or little one and offers additional hidden storage. The generous hallway full bath was completely gut-rehabbed and expanded in 2022 with gorgeous artisanal tile, all new fixtures and a large linen closet. The big, open sundrenched library (can be a second floor family room, play area, or additional work from home space) completes this level. Still need more space? Head down to the high and dry lower level that spans the footprint of the home and has even more to offer! The family room is great for game or movie nights and the lounge (created in 2021) showcases reclaimed and refinished paneling from another beautiful local home and a handy bar. An oversized powder room; a bright and clean laundry room with double farmhouse utility sink; a custom walk-in cellar; and another bonus room that could be a bedroom, workout room, or office complete this level! Outside you'll find loads of space for living and entertaining al fresco with lush, low-maintenance, native beds; seating options on the back porch, brick patio or by gravel fire-pit area; side yard for storage or grilling and a wooden privacy fence all-round. Well maintained, updated home has zoned heating and cooling; updated electrical; tankless water heater; refinished hardwood floors; fresh paint throughout and more. Larger than it looks, this charming home is minutes from schools, pool, dining, shopping, coffee, Blue Line, buses, expressway and so much more. This worry-free home is the one you've been waiting for--nothing for you to do but move in, unpack, and enjoy. Welcome home!
