The story
- Basement
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this truly special Queen Anne Victorian is brimming with the character, charm, and architectural detail that make it one of a kind. Thoughtfully restored and impeccably maintained, the home offers three levels of gracious living space plus a large basement with roughed-in plumbing, ready for storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future finished living space. Step into the welcoming foyer and be greeted by original oak woodwork, a stunning wraparound staircase, a built-in bench, custom radiator covers, art glass windows, and generous, sun-filled rooms throughout the main level. The spacious living and dining rooms flow easily into an open kitchen overlooking the family room/den - perfect for everyday living and effortless entertaining. A private office, which could also function as a first-floor bedroom and half bath, adds extra flexibility. Upstairs, the second level offers four bedrooms, a full bath, and a dedicated laundry room. The finished third floor offers even more versatility, featuring a vaulted-ceiling rec room with a skylight, a lofted nook ideal for reading or cozy hangouts, and a fifth bedroom that could also serve as an office, guest space, studio, or creative retreat. Set on a wide 50-foot lot, the outdoor living is equally impressive: a classic wraparound porch, a New York bluestone patio in the landscaped backyard, and a three-car garage. The home's exceptional Victorian trim and ornate architectural detailing earned it a spot on Oak Park's 2013 Painted Lady Tour. Ideally located near the Metra, Green Line, shops, restaurants, downtown Oak Park, and I-290, this quintessential Oak Park treasure is a rare opportunity to make it your own.
