This absolutely stunning 5-bedroom, 3.2-bath Tudor in North Oak Park masterfully blends old-world architecture with modern finishes and updated technology-making it a truly special place to call home. Built in 1922-the same year Louis Armstrong left New Orleans to join King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band here in Chicago, this home carries a rich history. It underwent a major renovation in 2015, when a different kind of "Uptown Funk" was topping the charts. The first floor offers a perfect balance of open-concept design and thoughtfully defined spaces. To the right of the entryway is a beautifully appointed living room, equally ready for movie night, cocktails or listening to music. You will enjoy the beautiful wood-burning fireplace (and corresponding rebuilt chimney) when the cold weather returns. Straight ahead, you'll find a sleek modern powder room and the main staircase to the second floor. To the left, the dining room opens into a cozy family room with a bar area, which in turn connects to the tastefully updated kitchen featuring. The spacious second floor can be accessed via the central staircase or a secondary stairway near the mudroom by the kitchen. This level features a wide hallway, four generously sized bedrooms, and two exceptional full baths. One floor up is the showstopper: a full-floor, light-filled primary suite featuring a luxurious spa bathroom with a steam shower, in-suite laundry, custom closets, and a cozy reading nook-your own private retreat. The finished lower level currently serves as a music studio and offers a versatile space for work, creativity, or play. It also includes a laundry area, storage, and an additional powder room. Energy-efficient features include a tankless on-demand water heater and an impressive geothermal heating and cooling system. You will find the tech-hub in lower level powder room closet. Clearly labeled Ethernet cables to every room in the home live there. Couple that with the already installed fiber internet and you have all of the speed you will ever need for both work and play. Outdoors, a charming fenced-in yard surprises with fruit trees. The rebuilt raised paver patio provides a perfect spot for entertaining. The two-car garage complements the home's exterior, and an adjacent parking pad offers space for two more vehicles. Horace Mann Middle School, Percy Julian Junior High, and OPRF H.S.
