One of Oak Park's oldest homes is on the market for sale

105 N Kenilworth Ave, Oak Park IL 60301

Calling all old house lovers! This 4 bedroom, 1.5 bath Folk Victorian home shares a block with Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple as well as the historic Oak Park post office building. Dating back to c. 1870, this must be one of Oak Park's oldest homes, but it sure doesn't feel like it! The previous owner undertook many painstaking interior and exterior restoration projects in the 1990s that included petitioning the village for permission to construct an open front porch as it exists today.

Unassuming from the street facade, this home welcomes you into its formal foyer complete with original staircase and wooden archway into the formal living room. The shotgun style layout of the main floor leads you through 2 flexible spaces encompassing the dining room and family room, with the spacious kitchen sitting at the back of the house, complete with an antique stove (that still works!). This level is complete with a bedroom / home office & half bath. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms including a large primary with an attached sitting room / nursery / walk in closet as well as full bath with dual sinks and new tile shower surround. Semi-finished basement is a kids' paradise with carpet-square floor & chalkboard wall. The side yard oasis is perfect with a pergola patio and fruit trees. There's a parking pad that'll fit up to 4 cars, too.

The best part? The price. It's only $450,000 -- at the affordable end for this desirable location within Holmes Elementary District in the community of Oak Park.
