Home Details for 704 S Elmwood Avenue

Gorgeous, character-filled Gunderson in a minutes-to-everything, fantastic Oak Park location beckons! The wide, deep front porch invites you to enter the roomy, functional foyer and appreciate the home's soaring ceilings, beautiful hardwood flooring, sunlit spaces and art-glass windows. Gather with loved ones in the generous, sun-soaked living room with bright, tall bay windows and easily host your biggest holiday gatherings in the large, bright dining room. Through a charming pocket door is the generous first-floor family room where you can rendezvous with friends for game night or cozy up for a movie night. Cooking your gourmet meals or snack prep is a delight in the sunny, all-stainless, five-years new designer kitchen boasting classic, bright, high-quality cabinetry; solid-stone countertops; an extra-deep stainless farmhouse sink; beautiful tiled backsplash; external venting hood; redone maple hardwood floors, and so much more. The kitchen opens to a fabulous, sun-filled breakfast room with large windows and a built-in mudroom bench with storage for a convenient back-door drop zone. A first-floor full bath plus a roomy coat closet--perfect for everyday living and entertaining--complete this beautiful level. When you're ready to retire, head up to the sleeping areas on the second and third floors. On the second floor, the massive, bright primary with room to roam is big enough to include an office (current use), a future en-suite bath for your own private oasis, or even de-converting back to two separate bedrooms-lots of options. Two additional generous bedrooms are on this level, one with a tandem room (currently used as a study) filled with windows and a cedar closet; and the other sunny east-facing bedroom, which is any kid's dream! A fresh hallway family bath completes this level. Up the wide stairs to the third floor, you'll find another massive bedroom plus a huge space that's currently an exercise and storage area, but could also be additional living space down the road. Need even more space? The vast, tall, dry, bright basement with its plush carpet, large windows, and third full bath could be another spacious family room or a perfect guest, nanny, or teen suite! Laundry, mechanicals, and additional storage complete this level. Al fresco, the home continues to be a delight, with a back deck that's perfect for warm-weather grilling and dining, an additional sitting area with a lovely brick-paver patio, two-car garage, and native plantings in the generous, fully fenced yard.
