🏡 Oak Park Open Houses - THIS WEEKEND Village of Oak Park
WHAT DOES $200,000+ IN IMPROVEMENTS LOOK LIKE?

At 460 Lenox St. in Oak Park, it looks like a home where the big projects have already been taken care of.

This isn’t just a house that’s been cosmetically updated. The improvements include:

✨ A custom screened porch and beautiful Thermory deck, stairs, siding and support beams, plus under-deck storage
✨ A brand-new custom 1.5-car garage with EV hookup
✨ Whole-home tuckpointing
✨ Custom Marvin wood windows in the kitchen and basement
✨ A new variable-speed second-floor A/C system and compressor
✨ A Nova high-efficiency wood-burning stove, complete with a new chimney and furnace liner
✨ New gutters and downspouts

The result? A beautifully cared-for Oak Park home that’s truly move-in ready — without the long list of major projects waiting for you after closing.

📍 460 Lenox St., Oak Park, IL 60302

Come see the craftsmanship and improvements for yourself:

OPEN HOUSE
🗓 Saturday | 12–2 PM
🗓 Sunday | 1–3 PM

$200,000+ in improvements. One incredible Oak Park home. Come take a look.

Congratulations Alice Matthews Kustusch 🏡❤️

Some closings are a transaction. Others are a journey.

This one was definitely a journey.

My clients and I started this search about a year ago, working virtually along the way and navigating the process from a distance. There were plenty of conversations, showings, possibilities, and decisions along the way — but today, it all came together.

And I couldn’t be happier for them.

They found an awesome house that I truly think is going to be a great home for them, and getting to be part of that journey makes this job so rewarding.

Congratulations to my amazing clients! 🎉🥂

Thank you for trusting me, sticking with the process, and allowing me to help you find the right place.

So happy for you both — and so excited for this next chapter! ❤️🏡

🏡 OPEN HOUSE — TOMORROW!

📍 836 N. Grove Ave, Oak Park, IL 60302
📅 Saturday, August 29
⏰ 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM

A backyard this size in Oak Park is something special. 🌳

This beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath Colonial offers the classic architecture and charm Oak Park is known for — with the kind of outdoor space that is increasingly hard to find.

Inside, you’ll find:
✨ Spacious, light-filled rooms
✨ Beautiful hardwood floors
✨ Nearly all newer windows
🔥 Gas fireplace with remote control
🛏️ Three generously sized bedrooms
🎬 Semi-finished basement with recreation/family room

But the backyard is the showstopper.

A large deck, patio, beautiful landscaping and an incredible amount of green space give you room to entertain, garden, play — or simply enjoy your own private outdoor retreat.

And with a lot this size, there’s even significant potential for a future addition while still maintaining an amazing backyard.

📍 Located in the Mann Elementary School district, on a wonderful North Oak Park block and close to Lindberg Park, the Field Recreation Center, Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio, public transportation and downtown Oak Park.

If you've been waiting for a home with character, space, location AND a backyard you rarely find in Oak Park, come take a look.

OPEN HOUSE — Saturday, 11:00 AM–12:30 PM

I’d love to see you there!
