828 Wesley Avenue

Completely renovated in 2019 with the finest finishes, this spacious home offers the ideal layout on a desirable street in the Ascension neighborhood. The maintenance-free exterior begins with a front porch constructed with TimberTech offering the look of real wood with greater sustainability. The inviting living room includes a custom tile surround fireplace fueled by natural gas, enclosed with built-in bookcases leading to the attached dining room. The kitchen is a showstopper! All will gather around the large island with quartz countertop. Oversized, gray cabinets outline the space and are a striking contrast to the black, soapstone countertop. Thermador appliances, floating shelves, and a coffee nook are a few more touches that complement this incredible space. Directly off the kitchen is an attached family room and mud room with cabinets and seating area with hooks. There is also a first-floor bedroom and full bath with custom tile and bathtub. The second floor features a large primary suite with a spa-like bath and dual, walk-in closets. An adjacent laundry room with front loaders has custom, maple shelves for folding and an enclosed ironing board. There are two additional bedrooms and a large, hall bath with beautiful tile, heated floors, and large bathtub. A built-in, floor to ceiling bookcase is featured in the hallway next to the cozy sunroom drenched with light. White trim and baseboards along with hardwood floors and oak windows (w/exterior vinyl cladding) bring a clean, modern finish to first two levels of this home. A fully finished mid-century basement is an entertainer's dream. The rec room features a bar with a sink, and shelving for beverages. The bar currently has an 8-tap kegerator (negotiable). The back of the basement currently serves as an in-law kitchen and brewery. The fourth bathroom is in the basement and is just as wonderful as the rest with a traditional Chicago style design with "daisy" pattern tile and a full, walk-in shower. Low-maintenance living continues in the backyard with a paver patio and oversized garage clad in Hardie Board siding. Need more outdoor space? This incredibly walkable location is close to Fox & Longfellow Parks, Rehm Pool & Park, and the Oak Park Conservatory. Steps from Oak Park Avenue shops and restaurants (including the incredible Sen Sushi), Carnival Grocery, the Blue Line, and access to the Eisenhower Expressway. This is an incredible Oak Park block where neighbors socialize in their front yards and is known for weekly "Highballs and Highchairs" gatherings once the temperature allows. A commuter's dream. All boxes checked.
