142 S Kenilworth Ave.

Built in 1887, the Asa W. Burrows house is an architecturally significant Stick Style Victorian that has been featured on Wright Plus. Located in the heart of historic Oak Park and a short walk to restaurants, shops, transportation, parks and the library. The home has been expertly remodeled and lovingly restored resulting in a perfect blend of 19th century charm and 21st century modern amenities. The strong curb appeal is enhanced by the appealing exterior paint palette, wrap around porch, fully fenced yard and picturesque, oversized 2 car garage with interior stairs to large 2nd floor loft. Original architectural details include bulls eye woodwork, transom doors and a striking spindled staircase. The tasteful decor, new oak floors on main level and replacement windows throughout the house add to the appeal. The kitchen opens to the family room and was completely remodeled in 2012-13 with granite counters, Bluestar gas range, Sub-zero, copper hood, farmhouse sink and island/breakfast bar. Off the kitchen is a casual eating area, handy mudroom with slate floor and back staircase. A spacious, formal dining room, living room with custom built-ins and gas fireplace and charming powder room complete the main level. Upstairs are 4 good sized bedrooms, 2 full, beautifully remodeled baths and a large laundry room. The great basement includes a 2nd family room, flexible play area/office/guest space, a third full bath and storage area. 142 S. Kenilworth is a true gem!
