This roomy 6 bedroom home is complete with its own 74 x 331 park-like lot! A welcoming front porch allows you to enjoy the street scape of architecturally significant homes and views of the charming park. Open the massive double doors into the grand foyer with gorgeous staircase. Large double living room with fireplace opens to the spacious dining room.

The kitchen opens to the expansive family room and both enjoy outstanding views and direct access to either a deck or porch down to dual patios. Huge garage for two suv's and another bay for storage. Back inside the house, through the mudroom off the kitchen, find a quiet first floor office with built-ins, what a nice backdrop for a zoom meeting. Double staircases up to the 2nd floor and you will enjoy 5 of the 6 bedrooms, accessible from the wide hallway. The primary bedroom features a full bath, walk-in closet and lounge. The other 4 bedrooms share the updated hall bath and easy access second floor laundry! The front two bedrooms open to the 2nd floor porch, which the sellers renovated and won the 2019 oak park historic preservation award. 3rd floor is a treat with an additional bedroom, full bath, office/homework room and huge playroom-bounus room. Basement has high ceilings with an open floor plan, which could be easily finished but is great for storage. Many recent updates and delightful features. Come visit and explore all that oak park has to offer. Only a few short blocks to schools, metra, green line, parks, theater, coffee shops, restaurants and the famous farmers market. Truly an outstanding opportunity.
