Prepare to be enchanted by this meticulously crafted Oak Park Bungalow, where historic charm meets modern sophistication. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal captivates-with a welcoming front porch featuring vaulted ceilings, a skylight, and subtle stair lighting that sets the tone for the beauty within. Step inside through the original wooden door into an impeccably maintained home that seamlessly blends thoughtful design with maximized space. The main floor offers a versatile layout, including a newly expanded and updated kitchen with sleek new appliances, ample counter space, and an eat-in peninsula perfect for cooking and gathering. Thoughtfully opened up to bring natural light into the heart of the home, the kitchen flows into a comfortable family room. Original built-in drawers and closets were preserved, maintaining the home's historic integrity. Rounding out the first floor is a bedroom that works beautifully as an office/den, a convenient powder room, and a screened-in back porch-ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary with plenty of room to add a private bath if desired. A beautifully updated full bath serves the second floor. The basement offers tall ceilings, a spacious laundry room, an optimal mud-room area just off of the exterior door, making for an incredibly functional landing space at the end of a long day, a work/workout room, crafting area and plentiful storage! The backyard is fully enclosed with a new privacy fence and offers space to garden, play, or unwind. A two-car garage and additional cement parking pad provide ample room for a third vehicle. This home has seen major improvements, including a full tear-off roof (2023), upgraded electrical system, and a repaired main sewer line with a 50-year warranty. Sustainable features abound, including a 7.6KW **owned** solar system and **two EV chargers**-making this home as eco-friendly as it is stylish. Located in the heart of Oak Park, this home reflects the Village's creative spirit and architectural soul. Andersen Park is just across the street and is undergoing a complete renovation which will include a new splashpad, playground, workout and picnic area. Set to be completed in November! Sitting just three blocks to Whitter Elementary, 815 Hayes is truly a gem.
