944 N Ridgeland Avenue

Welcome to this spacious, graciously updated 4-bedroom 3 bath, all-brick bungalow in North Oak Park overlooking beautiful Taylor Park and just steps away from highly rated William Hatch Elementary. The home's interior has been wonderfully designed to highlight its historic architectural features, while seamlessly integrating modern amenities. You'll love the timeless charm and elegance of arched doorways, hardwood floors, picture-rail molding, and large traditional windows that create an abundance of natural light. Watch the seasons unfold at Taylor Park out your front living room window or from the adjoining dining room, which is just steps away from the updated kitchen with 42-inch maple cabinets, granite countertops, all stainless-steel appliances, and plenty of storage options. Along with a full bath, there are two bedrooms on the main floor, either of which also make good home offices. Upstairs, you'll love the large 16 x 19 primary suite with full bath and walk-in closet and separate landing area perfect for a cozy upstairs home office or an expanded laundry space with washer/dryer already in place. Looking for even more space? Just step down into the luxuriously newly finished lower level with exterior access to the backyard. This was a $120,000 + project by current owners last year to completely build-out over 1,200 square feet for family entertaining space, a 4th bedroom, an exercise/work-out room and stylishly designed full bath with solid wood vanity, stone countertops and custom tile work throughout. This comfortable lower-level space is also a perfect private refuge for an in-law suite or hosting other overnight guests. Outside, enjoy walking around your professionally landscaped yard, including a private completely fenced-in backyard to relax, play, grill or entertain now that warmer temps are finally on the way. Off the alley is your large 2.5-car garage with additional space for storage. And so much to enjoy in Oak Park - cafes, coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, art galleries, theatre, bookstores, boutiques of every kind, and of course, world-famous historic architecture with the legacy and influence of Frank Lloyd Wright. On this street, in this location, in this charmingly designed and updated home, this is truly a unique opportunity.
