In an unbeatable location, this classic 3-story home in central Oak Park is rich with original character: art glass windows, hardwood floors, crown and baseboard moulding throughout. The generous covered front porch is a great place to greet friends and neighbors and socialize. An old-world wood door with art glass opens to an entry with original mosaic tile, leading to a grand foyer and central staircase. The first floor flows beautifully with a living room, dining room, family room, eat-in kitchen, half bath, and convenient first-floor laundry. A second staircase allows convenient access to the kitchen and laundry room. Upstairs, the second floor offers four large bedrooms and a stylish, extra-large full bath. The finished third floor includes its own full bathroom and flexes easily as a fifth bedroom, home office, or playroom plus extra storage room. Spacious basement with lots of natural light and good ceiling height. The home uses radiator heat and cooling via central air. Outside, enjoy a beautifully landscaped, fenced backyard with perennials and a paver patio. The home sits on an extra-wide-and-deep 50x172 lot, and has a 2-car garage plus exterior parking for three more cars off the alley. Welcome to central Oak Park. The home is located just off of Lake Street-steps to the Farmers Market, Ridgeland Common (athletic fields, indoor ice rink, outdoor pool, dog park), the Tennis & Fitness Centre, OPRF High School, and the Green Line. Short walk to the Oak Park Avenue business district with dining, Pete's Fresh Market, One Lake Brewing, Three Fold Bakery, GRC Gymnastics, and Stevenson Park.
