About this home
Rare 1 and 3/4 lot in Oak Park's Arts District. Prime location with real expansion potential. Classic American Foursquare with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a detached 2-car garage, and a functional layout: formal entry, living and dining rooms, plus a sunroom. All bedrooms are upstairs. A large unfinished attic perfect for a 4th bedroom, office, or studio. Several updates were completed in 2019, including new hardwood in the main living areas, refinished bedroom floors with fresh carpet in the third bedroom, and rebuilt front and back porches. The roof, windows, garage, and boiler are all about 15 years old. The wide lot creates real options: expand the footprint, plan a 3-car garage, or design a true backyard retreat. A fit for buyers waiting to get into Oak Park, anyone looking to build sweat equity, or investors with vision. Right in the Arts District, walk to cafes, restaurants, and shops, with the elementary school down the street. Close to the train and I-290. A straightforward opportunity to shape a classic home on a large lot and build long-term value.
