Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort. Welcome to this beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1895 Oak Park gem, offering 2,563 sq ft of above grade living space on an oversized 62' x 125' corner lot. From the inviting front porch, step inside to find 9' ceilings, original hardwood floors with inlays and a gracious foyer with a large coat closet. The main level features a full-circle layout: transition from the living room to the family room through original pocket doors, to enjoy the wood-burning fireplace with custom built-in, then move into the elegant dining room with another floor to ceiling hutch, continue into the bright kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances and then to the staircase to the basement. 2 more highlights of the main floor are the first-floor full bath with an oversized shower and heated floors and the laundry/pantry room off the kitchen with its abundant storage. Upstairs there are 4 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The primary suite spans the full width of the home and boasts a fabulous ensuite bathroom with a cathedral ceiling, double-sinks, oversized walk-in shower, and heated floors. Bedrooms 3 and 4 offer fun duplexed loft spaces, and the large hall bath includes a tub and two closets. There's more! The attic is accessible through an interior staircase and offers more space. The private backyard is perfect for entertaining on the Trex deck with built-in gas line and newer grill. 603 Wesley has been in the same family since 1973 and diligently and thoughtfully maintained with top quality vendors: new tear-off house roof (2011, Dunne Roofing), rebuilt chimney, new damper and limestone cap (2011, Edward Cross & Son), 3 new bathrooms and main staircase (2012, Oak Design), 2nd-floor furnace and condenser (2013), loft staircases, railings and flooring in bedrooms 3 and 4 (2021, Oak Design), new 50 gal hot water heater (2023), and more. 200 AMP electrical service. New windows, done in phases over time. New appliances: Maytag gas dryer (2022) and LG washer (2025, ABT), LG refrigerator (2022, Best Buy), Bosch dishwasher (2023, ABT) and electric cooktop and oven (2010, ABT). There are projects to be finished on the main floor and primary suite that are underway in terms of trim, wainscoting, and drywall - ready for you to bring them across the finish line. 603 perfectly blends historic craftsmanship with modern amenities and is ready to welcome the next chapter!
