Oak Park, IL 60304

JUST ENOUGH HOUSE, but so much home awaits you in this fabulous location in Oak Park. This charming 2BR/1BA ranch home welcomes you with a sprawling front lawn and gated fence. The classic 100sf covered front porch will be a favorite spot to enjoy morning coffee while bathed in brilliant sunlight from the east or it's just as perfect on a drizzly summer day. You'll enter the home through a small foyer that opens into the main combined living & dining room with beautiful hardwood floors and a custom millwork accent wall. One of the most unique features in the home is the use of 100-year-old reclaimed barn wood as shelves, a barn door, and an accent wall in the main bedroom. The kitchen features granite countertops, a backsplash, and all stainless appliances with enough room for a small table and chairs or a sideboard. Custom millwork is also featured in the second bedroom just off the kitchen. There are no shortages of details throughout the home including a beautiful chest that has been repurposed into a vanity and sink in the first-floor bathroom. Moving to the rear of the home, there is an abundant mudroom that leads down to the door to the garage where there is also additional storage and has an exterior bike shed. A few steps down lead to a full carpeted basement that has a nearly 450sf family/rec room and an included comfy sectional sofa. So many possibilities with this space- add a bedroom, a bathroom, an office, studio, additional storage. Just off the family/red room is a large laundry room featuring a newer front loading washer and dryer, the HVAC furnace, and a large water heater (2015). The home has been lovingly updated and customized and is truly unique. Walking distance to Oak Park Arts District, shops, Buzz Cafe, Trattoria 225, Mora Sushi, CTA Blue Line (Austin), and close to Jewel and Walgreens. Be sure to read the "Note from the Owner" attached. You'll love Harvey House!
