808 Hayes Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302

This charming brick bungalow is a jewel box of a home with an unexpected bonus – a garage mahal! You’re going to have that “this is the one” feeling the minute you drive up. From the classic brick construction to it’s placement with a view of a beloved Elm, this is a picture perfect home. The expansive covered front porch welcomes all and offers the best seat to catch summer breezes. The living room is accented with a decorative fireplace highlighted by lovely stained glass windows and flanked by built-in bookcases. Rich hardwood flooring enhances the space. Crown molding and a graceful bay adds charm to the formal dining room. The kitchen is a study in “all things done right”. It’s all here, from the custom cherry cabinets with a mix of wood and glass fronts, stainless steel appliances, classic subway tile back splash, quartz counters and a layout that make food prep a pleasure! The back room/office is the perfect work from home space. The bright and sunny setting makes it easy to work through lunch! There’s more work from home space in the basement, along with a third bedroom, the rec room/play room, laundry and storage galore. The attic is like a blank canvas to launch your expansion dreams. Presently used for storage, you can finish the space to your own designs. You must see the custom designed garage when you tour this home. Whether you are a crafter or collector, a trainer or inventor, this is the ideal space to practice your trade. The garage is constructed with a 20′ ceiling and a party door to the yard. Its dimensions are 22′ wide, 29′ deep, and has a 12′ high garage door opening. A new, metal fence replicates the look of wrought iron without the maintenance, and defines and compliments this home’s roots. So many well planned improvements include the professionally landscaped front and back yards, both with French drains and with a new backyard patio. The office was redesigned and improved with installed spray foam insulation, new electrical, drywall, ceiling, flooring, and lighting and also includes rebuilt stairs with plush new carpet, new tile flooring at the landing and a new door. Everything is done! This classic bungalow is on a neighborly block-party block and borders Andersen Park. Enjoy the convenience of being just steps to the Dole library and Whittier School and just a short walk to train. This is a golden opportunity to own a wonderful home done up and move-in ready along with a custom designed garage with limitless options. Don’t wait to decide!
