Welcome to this charming Oak Park single-family home! This beautiful two-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bath property combines timeless Oak Park charm with modern updates. The home features original hardwood floors, a spacious front porch, and a freshly painted neutral interior flooded with natural light. The foyer leads to a cozy living room showcasing original stained-glass windows, while the dining room flows into the updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances (renovated in 2022). Both bathrooms have been stylishly updated (2022 & 2024), and the house boasts several mechanical upgrades, including a new furnace and hot water tank (2017) and a vinyl exterior (2022). Conveniently located near Downtown Oak Park, the home is close to the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum, Ridgeland Common Pool, local parks, and various dining and shopping options. Trader Joe's and the CTA Green Line are nearby for easy commutes and errands. The washer, dryer, microwave, dishwasher, and stove were all installed in 2022. Floor plans are available in the photos, and a home warranty is included.
