Tucked behind the historic Waller Gates on Auvergne Place, this home offers an impressive mix of livable space and resort-style outdoor amenities. The private backyard is thoughtfully designed with bluestone patios and walkways, an in-ground pool, multiple areas for entertaining, a pergola, a deck off the kitchen, and a convenient pool room for storage and changing. Inside, the home features a flexible and well-designed floor plan. A beautiful first-floor family room with custom built-ins and a wet bar, along with a modern kitchen featuring quartz countertops and an island, formal dining room, separate living room, and a large first-floor office that could function as a main-level primary bedroom. A mudroom with generous storage connects directly to the garage. The second floor offers four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, including a private primary suite. A finished basement provides additional living space with a full bath, laundry area, and updated flooring. An excellent location close to the Metra, Lincoln Elementary, and an easy route straight down Lake Street to Whole Foods, Jewel, River Forest Town Square and Downtown Oak Park completes the package.
