Listing information updated 10/7/2026 at 5:23pm
Timeless French Provincial elegance meets thoughtful modern updates in this beautifully maintained 4 bedroom, 3.1 bath smart home on one of North Oak Park's most desirable tree-lined streets. Enter into a gracious foyer where sunlight pours through newer windows and doors (2006), reflecting off rich hardwood floors and highlighting classic architectural details. The living rooms flow effortlessly into the dining room which features Sub-Zero wine center and a wall of windows overlooking the private front paver patio, creating an inviting setting for both intimate dinners and lively gatherings. At the heart of the home is the completely remodeled 2019 chef's kitchen-crisp, clean, and designed for both serious cooking and easy entertaining. High-end stainless appliances, generous stone counters, and an expansive island invite you to linger over morning coffee or evening wine. Just beyond, the updated family room (2019) is bathed in natural light from a large picture window with power shades-perfect for movie nights, reading, or simply watching the seasons change in the backyard. Sound is woven thoughtfully throughout the home with integrated Sonos speakers, creating an immersive atmosphere whether you're hosting a party or enjoying a quiet evening in. Upstairs, four comfortable bedrooms offer abundant closet space, including several with custom California Closets for exceptional organization. Both second floor baths and the first-floor powder room were tastefully updated in 2006, balancing fresh finishes with classic style. The master bath features heated floor. The dedicated office, enhanced in 2007 with a built-in desk and cozy baseboard heat, provides a quiet, comfortable space for working from home, studying, or managing daily life. The lower level is a true extension of the living space-warm, inviting, and exceptionally functional. The theatre room has been upgraded with built-in digital surround sound, a gas fireplace and outfitted with two cleverly designed Murphy beds, easily transforming it into welcoming guest quarters when needed. There is a handy snack bar adjacent to prepare drinks, popcorn and more for movie or game nights. A full bath with a luxurious steam shower, heated floors and heated shower bench offers a spa-like retreat after a long day or tough workout. The added workout room makes it easy to maintain your fitness routine at home, regardless of the weather. Thoughtful mechanical and structural updates deliver peace of mind: A/C (2022), furnace (2007), water heater (2021), upgraded electric panel (2007), secondary electric panel (2023) and upgraded copper plumbing. The flat roof was replaced in 2025, minimizing future maintenance concerns. Outdoor living is equally appealing. Enjoy the expanded deck (2021), ideal for grilling and al fresco dining, where you can relax with a book or gather with friends at twilight. Two storage sheds (2021) neatly tuck away tools, toys, and seasonal items, keeping the yard tidy and functional. The updated 3-car garage is ready for the modern homeowner, with a new door and rollers (2025), upgraded high-end cabinetry, a fresh Swiss Trax floor (2025), and an EV charger-ready power source (2024), for effortless at-home charging. Wi-Fi system includes all doors, appliances, lighting, air-conditioner and furnace. ADT phone-controlled security system and 4 Ring exterior cameras for peace of mind. All of this is set in an enviable Oak Park location-close to top-rated schools, parks, and playgrounds, with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and the train for a quick commute to downtown Chicago. This French Provincial beauty offers the warmth of an established home, the confidence of extensive updates, and the comfort of thoughtfully designed spaces-ready for you to move in and enjoy.
