409 N Ridgeland Ave.

This charismatic home has three-bedrooms with three full bathrooms and is the perfect walking distance (not too far, not too close) from the CTA, Metra, or expressway. You can't beat this location, around the corner from the Daly Bagel, down the street from a local hardware store and restaurants, and steps from the weekly farmer's market and OPRF. The spacious front room with fireplace connects to the separate dining room with well-maintained hardwood floors. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a Viking gas range with beautiful cabinets. Two bedrooms are situated on the first floor, one currently used as an office. Upstairs is a private master suite and bathroom with a large, walk-in closet, and ample storage space. The finished lower level is fully waterproofed and has two walk-out exits, which could serve as an in-law or guest suite or converted to a rental. The laundry room has a laundry chute so no need to collect dirty laundry from each bedroom. The wood bar and mirror in the finished basement can stay with the home, so the large space with generous ceilings could also be used as an entertainment area when rain or cold brings you inside from the lush backyard. The yard is surrounded by cedar fencing (installed 2021) and is an ideal space to get away and soak up some sun or get your hands dirty in the raised bed garden. Guests can lounge on the Trex deck (built 2021), or in the grassy yard surrounded by peonies (original to the house), hostas and ostrich ferns. The two-car garage has storage above; the current residents use it for wood to build furniture in the basement workshop, equipped with an air filtration system and 110 and 220-volt outlets. This home has been meticulously maintained and updated, including new electric wiring (2020), new HVAC (2021), new boiler (2021), painting interior and exterior (2022), new washer and dryer (2021), tuckpointing (2019), new window treatments (2021), gutter guards, kitchen upgrades (2022), and regular servicing of appliances, mechanicals, and trees. This home is move-in ready. There is much, much more to learn about and find in your new home in Oak Park.
