Rare opportunity to put your own stamp on this home that's been loved by the same owners for more than 40 years! From the roomy enclosed porch, step into the gracious foyer showcasing soaring ceilings, gorgeous hardwood flooring and an intricate original banister. Gazing into the sun soaked heart of the home, you'll find a generous living room with original art glass window, inlaid floors and beautiful crown molding; and the sundrenched dining room with original French doors is big enough to easily host your largest holiday gatherings. Off the dining room is a huge, convenient first-floor family room - perfect for your game and movie nights - and which also opens to the front porch for easy entertaining! The massive kitchen is the heart of the home, with loads of quality cabinetry, miles of countertops, an extra large island, bonus storage and a breakfast nook that overlooks the backyard; and a handy powder room rounds out this level. On the second floor, you'll find four bedrooms. The sunny, spacious primary has a lovely bay of windows, and another large bedroom has a massive office attached that could also make a great primary retreat. Two additional bedrooms (one with an adorable stained glass window!) and a full family bath round out this level. The third floor can be an easy primary en-suite (or the ideal teenager hideaway!) with two more large bedrooms with fantastic light and space as well as a roomy full bath with skylight. The tall, dry basement spans the footprint of the home and along with the laundry and utilities, offers storage as well as a workshop area. The deep, sunny, east-facing lot is a gardener's delight - keep as-is with low maintenance natives or dream big and grow your own veggies! A huge three car garage offers additional storage plus the additional parking space is great for overnight guests. All the light, space, character, and potential you've been looking for in this rare Oak Park opportunity that's offered as-is. Fantastic location - on the best block in town that's close to schools, parks, pool, ice rink, farmer's market, bagel shop, coffee, dining, grocery, shopping, public transportation, and so much more! Make it yours and get ready to enjoy summer in your new home! This is the one you've been waiting for--welcome home!
