    What's special

    Stunning stone fireplaceHigh ceilingsEasy flow floor planMultiple work stationsBeautiful staircaseCustom maple cabinetryFrench doors
    Welcome to this quintessential Oak Park home built in 1893 in the heart of the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District. The home has been beautifully and meticulously maintained and updated by the same family over the last 43 years. A delightful screened-in porch is your starting point. It's the perfect place to gather with friends, enjoy your morning coffee, or sip an evening libation. Cross the threshold into the foyer and be greeted by the stunning and original hardwood floors, woodwork, and staircase. French doors lead you into the spacious living room offering multiple seating areas, gorgeous art glass windows, and high ceilings. An easy flow floor plan guides you into the formal dining room which features a stunning stone fireplace to enhance your dinner gatherings. Pass through the swinging door into the delightful kitchen, completely renovated in 2017. Multiple work stations, soapstone countertops, custom maple cabinetry, and updated appliances (including a new gas range in 2025) make this the perfect place to master your meals. A cozy bonus space off the kitchen doubles as a pantry, bar area or coffee station, and reading nook. Adjacent to this space is a charming vintage looking full bath complete with clawfoot tub. Ascend the beautiful staircase to the second floor and you will discover a wonderful landing area, perfect for a home office or play space and featuring more art glass windows. Two large bedrooms give you a choice for your primary bedroom and two smaller bedrooms still offer plenty of room for young ones, guests, or another use. The second floor bath was artistically renovated in 2002 with copper accents, marble tile, and custom millwork. Enjoy a separate shower, deep soaking tub, and large vanity with plenty of storage. The final feature on the second floor is a large walk-in cedar closet complete with secret compartments. The unfinished basement was refreshed in 2025 with the walls and floors painted and is now ready for your expansion ideas. Wander out to the backyard and behold a peaceful and wooded retreat. Towering maple and oak trees and a plethora of native plants adorn the yard with a small, rustic brick patio in the center of it all. A convenient side driveway (new in '15) allows you to stop and unload groceries and people to the home's side door and then leads to the 2-car garage at the back of the property. Additional updates made to the home include: HVAC ('18), electrical panel, exterior trim painting, new dryer, and new water heater (all in '25). While wonderfully maintained, this home is being sold "as is." Located on a beautiful tree-lined and neighborly block, you're just blocks away from parks, schools, the Green Line, and the entire Hemingway Business District that is filled with incredible restaurants and shopping. What are you waiting for? It's time to say "Welcome Home" to 637 North Grove Avenue today!
