Property Description

A Historic Masterpiece in the Heart of Oak Park on almost a half acre. One of the most spectacular homes to hit the Oak Park market this spring, 520 N Oak Park Avenue is a Grand Victorian masterpiece that effortlessly blends historic elegance with refined modern luxury. Built in 1884 and designed by Theodore Vigo Wadskier, this Swiss Chalet Victorian sits in the highly sought-after Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District. Honored with the 2022 Oak Park Preservation Award for Residential Rehabilitation, this home is a true labor of love-restored with the finest attention to detail and timeless craftsmanship. Set on iconic Oak Park Avenue, the three-story residence offers six spacious bedrooms, three fully renovated bathrooms, and three beautiful fireplaces that bring warmth and character to the home. Architectural highlights include Juliet balconies, original double entry doors from Chicago's historic Pullman Estates, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The chef's kitchen is both functional and inspiring, featuring quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, and an open layout ideal for entertaining. The newly renovated third floor adds exceptional flexibility and privacy with two bedrooms and a luxurious spa-inspired bathroom featuring a steam shower and soaking tub. Whether used as a private owner's retreat, an au pair suite, or a perfect hangout space for teens, this level offers comfort, style, and versatility to suit your lifestyle. Modern updates ensure peace of mind and efficiency, including new plumbing and electrical systems, a zoned HVAC setup, and laundry on both the second floor and basement. Step outside and discover a private oasis-complete with a stunning stone fireplace, raised vegetable and flower beds, and a fully fenced yard. Whether you're hosting summer barbecues, sipping coffee at sunrise, or enjoying golden hour cocktails around the fire, this home was designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living and memorable entertaining. This is more than a home-it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of Oak Park history. For those who value architectural beauty, thoughtful renovation, and exceptional outdoor living, 520 N Oak Park Avenue is unmatched and the one for you.
