About this home
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, this sunny 3+ bedroom brick bungalow blends classic charm with flexible living on every level. Situated on a wide lot with generous space between neighboring homes, you'll love the privacy and open feel. Step into a bright front living room featuring beautiful art glass and hardwood floors throughout most of the main level. There's a separate dining room for gatherings, plus a spacious and light-filled family room addition off the back that looks out to the private, fully fenced yard. The open kitchen connects seamlessly to the family room, making everyday living and entertaining a breeze. The second bedroom features a convenient Murphy bed, making it an ideal guest space that folds up and can double as a home office. Upstairs, you'll get those cozy lakehouse vibes as you step into an incredible open living space with a working fireplace, separate heat and air, and a spacious tucked-away storage area-perfect for a future primary suite, studio, or an extra hangout space. The finished basement adds even more versatility with a 4th bedroom, an additional office, and a huge rec room, plus it's plumbed for a bathroom, offering plenty of room to work, play, and relax. And the cherry on top: a four-car garage, a rare find. Conveniently located near all three downtowns-Oak Park, River Forest, and Forest Park-with easy access to shops, dining, Washington Commons Park, and commuting options, including the Metra and the Blue and Green Lines. Recent updates: house and garage tuckpointed and front porch retiled (2023), new quartz kitchen countertop, refrigerator, and dryer (2024), and new boiler (2025). This is the one you've been waiting for!
