Located in the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District, walkable to the Farmer's Market, Ridgeland Commons recreation center, parks, schools, downtown Oak Park shopping and dining, and CTA/Metra. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in this classic Georgian masterpiece which offers a unique blend of timeless design and modern living. Updated by architect Gary Steiner in 2004, this stunning mid-century modern home blends timeless detail with a modern layout. A two-story addition doubled the size of the original footprint and creates an open-concept main level which naturally flows between rooms and a spacious primary suite upstairs spanning the full length of the home. Large floor-to-ceiling bay windows in front, and walls of windows in the family room, kitchen, and breakfast area fill the home with natural light. The contemporary chef's kitchen is perfect for both everyday meals and elegant entertaining, featuring a cantilevered island, stainless steel appliances, commercial oven, two-drawer European dishwasher, with a tucked away original kitchen that's ideal as a coffee bar or butler's pantry. The second floor's primary suite offers two spacious custom-built walk-in closets and a spa-like bath with heated floors, custom sound system, and a skylit oversized shower with five shower heads. Enjoy multiple outdoor spaces including a screened porch, brick patio, and newly built second-floor balcony overlooking the landscaped yard and mature burr oak. Rare driveway accessible from the street, secured electric gate, and two-car garage with Level II electric vehicle charger. See "Additional Information" for a full list of recent improvements.
