Property Description

At 1141 N Ridgeland Ave, elegance and history unfold on a rare corner lot in one of Oak Park's most architecturally storied neighborhoods. This expansive 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom all-brick home sits proudly at the intersection of timeless charm and thoughtful renovation-just steps from Taylor Park and minutes from downtown Oak Park. A winding front staircase welcomes you to an arched wooden front door-your first clue that this home is anything but ordinary. Inside, sunlight floods the home through arched windows that give the living and dining rooms their distinctive warmth and character. A set of six-panel glass French doors invites you into the formal living room, where a floor-to-ceiling fireplace is crowned with a muraled wall that feels as much like art as architecture. The entire home is bathed in natural light, thanks to its east-facing orientation and corner lot placement, which ensures sunlight from multiple exposures all day long. Renovated in 2016, the kitchen is a true showpiece of style and substance. Quartz countertops pair elegantly with a warm butcher block section, balancing modern design with inviting texture. A farmhouse sink sits beneath a charming window overlooking the backyard, while a separate pounded copper vegetable sink adds an unexpected artisanal flourish. A copper penny tile backsplash brings cohesion and sparkle to the space, anchoring a layout that flows seamlessly into a professionally designed dining area-also accessible through another set of French doors. At the rear of the home, a bright sunroom opens to a lush outdoor sanctuary, while a cozy den adds casual comfort to the main level. An office-tucked quietly off the main living area and not visible in photos-shares access to a full bath, making it ideal for remote work or overnight guests. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat unto itself, featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-worthy en suite bath renovated in 2021, with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and refined finishes throughout. A second upstairs bath with roughed-in plumbing offers potential for expansion, while private access to a structurally braced roof deck creates an opportunity for future outdoor living in the treetops. The fully finished basement, completed in 2019, adds a full level of flexible living space, including another bedroom, full bath, and an impressive amount of hidden storage. Whether you're dreaming of a home theater, workout studio, or multi-generational living quarters, the layout offers endless adaptability. Throughout the home, dual-zone central heating and cooling-rare in Oak Park-ensures optimal year-round comfort. Outside, the professionally designed garden channels the tranquility of a French courtyard, with manicured boxwoods, a pergola-covered lounge, and a landscape that offers both beauty and privacy. A brick 2-car garage with matching clay tile roof complements the architecture, accessed via a private driveway directly off the street-no alleys involved. Oak Park is more than a suburb-it's a destination. Just west of the city with direct access to the Blue and Green Lines, Metra, and major highways, it offers a rare combination of convenience, culture, and community. Spend Saturdays at the Oak Park Farmers' Market, dine at Maya Del Sol, or catch a film at the iconic Lake Theatre. With top-rated schools, a vibrant downtown, and neighbors who value history and heart-this is where your next chapter begins. This home is more than a residence-it's a reflection of craft, comfort, and legacy. Welcome to the Chicago Lifestyle here in Oak Park.
