Property Description

Be sure to see this inviting Prairie style 5 BR/ 2.1 BA conveniently located home. Situated in the revered Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District, this gem is in a beautiful neighborhood. Long-term owners have been superb stewards to 538 N East Ave for over 3 decades. From the lush curb appeal and tranquil backyard, be marveled as you enter the foyer and notice the attention to detail throughout including crown molding and more. Natural light abounds throughout and space feels calming, comfortable and a perfect place to call home. Designed with intention and forethought, the effortless flow makes for easy living and entertaining. Built-in cabinetry adds bonus storage to the living room that was meant to be used! There is plenty of room for the baby grand/ upright piano, game table, and seating. Cold nights will be coming and there is nothing like enjoying time around the gas-log fireplace. The kitchen was gutted and modernized while staying true to the Prairie style ('12). The designer created an efficient usable prep and cooking area while keeping ample storage at top of mind. Quality materials including quarter-sawn oak was used for cabinetry and quartz for countertops. All stainless appliances: refrigerator, range, hood, dishwasher, & microwave drawer. Double sink overlooks peaceful private back patio, deck, yard and 3-car garage! There is even a breakfast bar to enjoy morning coffee. The space seamlessly connects to dining room and showcases Prairie style custom cabinetry finished with stained-glass doors. These flank family room opening. Step into the family room that has amazing light and great windows. Sliding door opens to the back deck. Library beckons readers, so think about how to arrange your collection! Master bedroom/ bath comes with walk-in closet, double vanity, jetted tub and separate shower. Two additional 2nd floor bedrooms come with custom closets making for space well used. Third floor has 2 generous bedrooms currently being used as home offices. Property is just blocks from Whittier elementary and OPRFHS (high school)! Metra & Green line, downtown Oak Park, restaurants, shopping, pool, and so much more is nearby. This is an exceptionally fine home on a quiet block and close to so much. The heavy lifting has been done. (See Additional Info for project/maintenance history) Now it's time for the next owner to enjoy.
