About This Property

Rarely available, this single family row home (designed in 1891 by Architect William Van Kuren) offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern lifestyle with an additional income producing space! Be only the fourth owner of this timeless property ideally located in the heart of the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District and moments away from downtown Oak Park. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this property features striking original architectural details: exposed brick foyer with a two story staircase, quarter sawn oak floors, ten foot ceilings (some coved) pocket doors, period light fixtures, Trent tile decorative fireplace, plus sweeping views of Austin Gardens from the striking front room picture window. This home's kitchen also lends character with original MCM Sears & Roebuck cabinets, steel-rimmed Formica counters, and its sunshine-yellow vintage cast iron Chambers range. An oversized schoolhouse light helps blend mid-century charm with 1890s architecture. Four second floor bedrooms and a primary suite on the third level offer space and flexibility. With a private rooftop deck, original wide-plank flooring, and a vintage-inspired modern bath, the third floor will surely be one of your favorite spaces. The lower level is currently used as an Airbnb with its own private entrance. It features two additional private bedrooms, kitchenette, a bathroom, office and a common area. This space  generates $30,000 annually, but could easily be converted to nanny's quarters or used as additional rooms for houseguests.       This home is more than just a residence - it's an historically significant package delivering architectural integrity and accessibility to a vibrant neighborhood. From its original design to its passive income stream and proximity to schools, Oak Park's cultural and dining scenes, and public transportation, this property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
