Enjoy the timeless beauty of a large vintage home with the luxury of modern features, new kitchens and baths, plus excellent energy efficiency! Gorgeous move-in ready home in prime walk-to-town location! This spacious, well maintained home offers the perfect blend of original architectural character and contemporary updates. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from the heart of the Oak Park Avenue business district, you will enjoy unbeatable walkability to shops, restaurants, the Farmers Market, top-rated schools, and both the Green Line and Metra trains-all while living in a peaceful, community-oriented neighborhood. Set on an oversized 50-foot-wide lot, this home features stunning curb appeal with a classic front porch and porch swing, and a professionally landscaped, fully fenced yard with in-ground sprinklers, and a paver patio which is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying life outdoors. Inside, original details shine through-soaring ceilings, detailed woodwork, 2 sets of original pocket doors, oak floors, and high-quality wooden blinds-balanced by tasteful modern upgrades throughout. The main level features a double parlor living room, large formal dining room, and a beautifully renovated eat-in kitchen that opens to a heated back porch. Upstairs, the second floor offers four bedrooms and two beautifully updated full baths including a private primary suite. The 2nd floor also has a side-by-side laundry room. The 3rd floor is a true show-stopper: Skylights bring in tons of natural light. The space is newly carpeted, and incredibly versatile with vaulted ceilings, a newly updated full bath, and space ideal for a teen retreat, guest suite, home office, playroom, or au pair quarters. The finished basement provides additional flexible finished living space currently being used as a family room and office. There is also a huge amount of storage space. The home features two newer water heaters, zoned heating and air conditioning (including some room-by-room controls), new water service line for excellent pressure, upgraded 200-amp electrical service and new electric service to the 3rd floor. Double glazed windows with additional storm windows offer excellent insulation and energy efficiency. A 2-car garage plus an additional parking pad complete the package. This is more than a house-it's a welcoming, move-in ready home in one of Oak Park's most cherished walk-to-everything neighborhoods, with friendly, sociable neighbors. Come experience the best of village living in this one-of-a-kind Victorian gem!
