Add to FavoritesA fairy tale of an English cottage but conveniently located in Oak Park. Not far from the city or airport. Near a Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and everything else downtown Oak Park and River Forest have to offer! Within a wonderful school district. In a village that doesn't use pesticides or herbicides on park or school property.
The home itself is spacious and updated: over 3,000 square feet! The house was renovated with young children in mind. The first floor has an open concept and the kitchen looks directly into a play room so you can cook and watch the little ones at the same time.
The home also features:
A completely NEW kitchen: custom cabinets built with FORMALDEHYDE-FREE wood and ZERO-VOC paint, custom one-of-a-kind lights and sconces, and ALL BRAND NEW appliances! The floor tile is from Fireclay Tile and LEAD-FREE.
Clean water: The entire house's water filtration system makes it so that the water from the tap is safe to drink. On top of that, the kitchen sink also has a reverse osmosis water filtration system. In addition to the advanced filtration system for the whole house, we worked with the city to replace the lead pipe on the street bringing water into the house.
A completely NEW bathroom: brand new lead-free bath tub and completely new wall and floor tile from Fireclay Tile.
NEW wood windows: naturally and safely stained with hemp oil (NO chemicals). Custom-made, chemical-free, all-natural bamboo window blinds.
Safe interior: entire home painted with ZERO-VOC paint.
Open concept: the home has been updated with an open floor plan, making the interior feel spacious, yet cozy.
ORGANIC garden: organic garden beds line the backyard, where tomatoes, kale, chard, goji berries, rhubarb, and other vegetables are grown.
Basement in-law suite: basement is complete with brand new washer and dryer, large bedroom, a bathroom that includes a shower, and kitchenette.
Because of the small plot:

Neighborhood Description
Oak Park is truly a gem of a village. Only 4.5 square miles, but offers one of Chicagoland's most diverse, culturally-rich neighborhoods. Amongst the hustle and bustle of urban life rests the quiet streets of Oak Park, where children play and bike and someone is always out walking their dog.
The park district commits to maintaining parks and recreational areas and school properties with pesticide-free and herbicide-free solutions.
