This beautifully, well-kept 1960's, vintage home is a gem in Oak Lawn. A few blocks from Advocate Christ Medical Center, easy access to all the restaurants, businesses & shopping on 95th ave. Nestled between Chicago Ridge & Evergreen Park, you have multiple towns to take advantage of. This property is a ONE-owner, split-level, brick home, built in the early 60's to the homeowner's specs. It features a main entry leading 3 ways: to the kitchen, the family room or the upstairs bedrooms. The entry has a large coat closet & you'll find the mail slot for postmarked deliveries as well. The main level has large front & rear windows which let in a lot of light & can provide a refreshing crossbreeze on cool spring or fall days. Newer windows throughout. The home highlights classic kitchen & bathroom features of the 60's era; colored toilets & sinks with beautiful vintage wallpaper & other fixtures too. The kitchen appliances have all been replaced in the last few recent years: Fridge, Range and Dishwasher. The galley style kitchen provides a great working triangle which leaves space for a breakfast table to the far east of the home, along the sliding doors. The sliding doors open to the poured slab patio and large fenced in backyard. The adjacent family/dining room combination layout is open & expansive for a variety of arrangement options. The original window coverings are in place & carpet was just cleaned. With up to 4 bedrooms, this classic home is ideal for a small & growing family. There are 3, 2nd floor bedrooms & 1 basement bedroom. The home has 1 full bath upstairs & 1 half bath off the kitchen, with ample space to build out a 2nd full bath in the basement. The primary bedroom is located at the top of the stairs with windows to the south & a double closet expanding the entire width of the room. The other two bedrooms are down the short hall across from & next to the bathroom, each with great sized closets & plenty of daylight from large windows. The 2nd bedroom sits between the primary & the 3rd bedroom with windows on the south side of the home. The 3rd bedroom to the back of the home has windows on the east side. In addition this 3rd bedroom has an extra, crawl space/attic storage closet for seasonal items. The upstairs bathroom has a linen closet and a bathtub. The basement is wide open & sits partially below ground which allows the windows to cast in daylight to naturally illuminate the space. The basement also features a utility room, where the 2 years new washer/dryer is hooked up. There is storage space for tools, cleaning supplies, seasonal items & could be configured to build out a 2nd full bath. The furnace and hot water tank are newer. The utilities and laundry are directly off of the main rec/game room which expands more than half of the entire basement square footage. The basement is also where you will find the 4th bedroom/office. It sits just beyond the rec room, has a large closet with shelving & a backstair egress exit/entrance leading into the garage. Besides a bedroom, this room could be used for storage, as a playroom, or an office that clients can access without going through the entire home. The home sits on just under a quarter acre lot that was re-sodded just 2 years ago, the new fence was installed and the patio was poured about 15 years ago. The 2 car garage sits perpendicular to Kenton Avenue where it remains "out of sight" creating more attractive curb appeal from the front of the home. The retro glass block designs on the front elevation, not only bring natural light into the garage but create interest from the street. The garage floor & the driveway have been redone as well. This home is move in ready for the vintage-vibe lover or with a few modern updates here & there you can move in to this classic split level home customized to you.
