Light-filled and spacious, this home perfectly blends beauty and functionality. The main level showcases an open-concept floor plan enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows on both the east and west sides, flooding the space with natural light and creating a bright, airy atmosphere. Hardwood floors throughout add warmth, timeless elegance, and easy maintenance. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with countertop seating, a charming butler's pantry featuring a greenhouse window, and flexible dining space-ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A full bathroom on the main floor adds convenience for guests. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat complete with a generous walk-in closet, a full bathroom with a separate shower and tub, plus a laundry closet with a large stackable washer and dryer for added practicality. The partially finished basement provides versatile space perfect for a home office, recreation room, and ample storage. Enjoy relaxing outdoors with inviting front and back porches offering plenty of options for fresh air and leisure. Recent upgrades include a new garage (2022), furnace (2020), and water heater (2019), with a roof less than 10 years old-giving you peace of mind. Location is unbeatable: just steps from the CTA Green Line and Metra, close to premier shopping at Lake and Harlem (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's), and within easy reach of the vibrant dining and nightlife on Madison Street and downtown Oak Park. Welcome home!
