**MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED--HIGHEST & BEST OFFERS DUE BY SUNDAY @ 5PM** Welcome to the Owen H. Jones House, a remarkable 1920 California Craftsman Bungalow designed by noted architect Roy J. Hotchkiss, former apprentice to E.E. Roberts. Located in the sought-after Gunderson Historic District, this architectural masterpiece is widely regarded as one of Oak Park's finest and most authentic California Craftsman homes, distinguished by its exceptional scale, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. From the moment you arrive, the expansive slate in-laid front porch invites you to relax and enjoy the neighborhood from what feels like an outdoor living room. Inside, stunning quarter-sawn oak woodwork, rich millwork, beamed ceilings, and gracious proportions create a sense of warmth and grandeur rarely found in bungalow architecture. Large, interconnected rooms flow through elegant cased openings, while the impressive fireplace anchors the formal living room. The magnificent dining room showcases an extraordinary original built-in sideboard, a true testament to the home's craftsmanship. The thoughtfully updated kitchen honors the home's heritage with custom quarter-sawn oak cabinetry, period-inspired lighting, and authentic hardware. The adjacent breakfast room, originally designed as a sunroom, retains its rare original terrazzo flooring. The main level also features two generously sized bedrooms, a beautifully renovated full bath with period-appropriate details, and a convenient mudroom. Unlike many bungalows, this home offers a full second floor with soaring ceiling heights and continuous period millwork throughout. Four spacious bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility, including a grand primary suite with double closets. The renovated bathrooms reflect the timeless Craftsman aesthetic while providing modern comfort. The finished lower level expands the living space with a large family room featuring a gas fireplace, original maple flooring. There is also abundant storage, a laundry area, and an additional half bath. Outside, the generous lot offers expansive side and backyard spaces for entertaining, gardening, and recreation. The original two-car garage further enhances the property's architectural integrity but has been modernized with an EV charger and epoxy flooring. Notable features include tapestry brick and stucco construction, a slate roof, quarter-sawn oak floors, oak and birch trim, slate thresholds and windowsills, terraced wood moldings, and casement windows. Slate detailing was installed by original owner Owen Jones who was the owner of Chicago's Western Slate Company. A rare opportunity to own one of the area's most celebrated historic homes-meticulously restored, rich in architectural character, and perfectly suited for modern family living.
