Welcome to this beautifully updated American Foursquare in Oak Park's vibrant Arts District! With 4 bedrooms, a dedicated office, and 2.5 bathrooms, this home perfectly balances vintage charm with thoughtful modern updates. The inviting front porch opens to a gorgeous foyer featuring original woodwork, leaded glass, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. A sun-filled living room flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, complete with built-ins and oversized windows. The updated kitchen boasts shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a peninsula for casual seating. A major third-floor addition in 2015 added two spacious bedrooms and a full bath, creating a private retreat with its own dedicated HVAC system. On the second level, you'll find two more bedrooms, an office, and another full bath. The basement features a cozy family room with new carpeting, laundry area, and abundant storage space. Outside, the large, meticulously manicured yard is perfect for entertaining, and the two-car garage provides added convenience. Major improvements include a new roof (2014) and hot water heater (2015). Just steps to the Blue Line, parks, shops, and restaurants-this home is a rare blend of space, style, and location.
