Impeccably Restored Vintage Home in a Prime Oak Park Location! With over 2300 finished square feet, this stunning 4-bed, 2.5-bath home blends classic charm with modern updates, thanks to a thoughtful, high-quality renovation. The developer spared no detail in preserving original character with refinished hardwood floors, stunning stained-glass windows, and a coffered-ceiling dining room, while ensuring long-term peace of mind with NEW windows throughout, all-NEW plumbing, NEW electric service and wiring throughout (200-amp service with adequate power for buyer to add an EV charger), and TWO high-efficiency HVAC systems. Brand new kitchen and baths along with fresh paint throughout (both interior and exterior). The main level features a beautifully redesigned kitchen with 42-inch cabinets, luxurious stone countertops, and high-end stainless steel appliances. A newly expanded powder room and an enclosed front porch add style and function. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms include a grand primary bedroom, and are complemented by a fully renovated family bath and great closet space. The walk-up attic offers storage and expansion potential. The newly finished basement extends your living space with a family room, 4th bedroom with egress window, a second full NEW bath and laundry room. Outside, enjoy a spacious backyard, a two-car garage, and an extra parking pad. Nestled in a fantastic neighborhood, this home is steps from Oak Park Ave and the Southtown Business District's cafes, restaurants, and parks, plus an easy walk to Lincoln Elementary and Brooks Middle School. With every major system newly replaced, this is a truly move-in-ready home that buyers can enjoy for years to come-without worry. Annual 4th of July block parties, incredible neighbors and beautiful surrounding homes make this the complete package!
