Lovingly maintained 3 bed 2 bath American foursquare in the heart of Oak Park's desirable Longfellow district. As you enter, the all-season enclosed front porch welcomes you into the oak-trimmed foyer and living room featuring a fireplace, stained glass, and built-in bookcases, epitomizing this traditional Oak Park home. This flows into the distinctive dining room with bay windows, original oak floors and trim. The updated kitchen boasts stainless appliances, granite counters and peninsula/bar, as well as a separate dining nook. The grand oak staircase with its custom stained-glass window leads to the home's three light-filled bedrooms with ample storage; 2 linen closets, and a second walk-in closet in the primary bedroom. The upstairs bathroom has been updated and includes a large vanity and steam shower. The fully-finished walk-out basement includes a built-in office area, recreational space, double-door storage closets, and an updated second full bathroom. Even more custom cabinets, a workspace, and a Samsung washer and dryer await you in the laundry/utility room. There is also a storage crawl space that has been lit, insulated and floored with cement underneath the front porch. This fully-fenced property has been carefully landscaped and includes a winding brick path, generous patio, custom fountain, 2.5 car garage and parking pad. This is a great location with close proximity to the Community Rec Center, Longfellow Park, Blue and Green line trains and the Harrison Arts District, dining and shopping.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
