Home Details for 1116 N Elmwood Avenue

Stunning 1930 Tudor in north Oak Park where timeless architectural character meets thoughtful, quality updates. From the moment you arrive, the large front porch sets the tone for what awaits inside: coved ceilings, leaded glass windows, an original tiled fireplace, solid wood doors, iron railings and beautifully preserved vintage 1930s bathrooms that honor the home's heritage at every turn. In 2006, Oak Design & Construction executed a seamless addition that expanded the home's livability without compromising its soul - adding a gorgeous family room, an updated kitchen, a mudroom and a deck that flows directly to the backyard. The addition is served by its own dedicated furnace and central AC, while the original home is heated by a boiler (new in 2017) with classic radiators and window units on the second floor, keeping the systems true to the architecture. Major mechanicals and maintenance have been carefully tended: new hot water heater in 2016, new refrigerator in 2021, new disposal in 2026, exterior painting, stucco and timber facade restoration in 2019, exterior tuckpointing in 2025, and the home is crowned by a slate roof with copper gutters - details that speak to the quality of construction and pride of ownership throughout the years. The partially finished basement offers fantastic additional living space, including a generous rec room, home office, laundry room and plenty of storage. Outside, the backyard is a private oasis with a deck off the family room, a brick paver patio, open grass areas and plenty of room to garden. The matching Tudor garage enhances the overall charm. Enjoy a short walk to both Taylor Park and Hatch Elementary school. This is a rare opportunity to be part of Oak Park's rich history in a diligently maintained home with generous spaces, beautiful architectural details, solid steel beam construction and updates that make it so easy to call 1116 home!
