Property Description
Rare brick and stone ranch in Galewood, 2 blocks north of Oak Park, offering a truly unique combination of privacy, space, and thoughtful design. Set on a beautifully landscaped oversized corner lot, this property features a professionally built masonry privacy wall enclosing a stunning outdoor living environment with three paver patios, connecting walkways, and multiple seating areas-creating a rare, secure, and serene setting not commonly found in the area. The home offers a highly desirable ranch layout with approximately 2,300 square feet on the main level, complemented by a fully finished lower level providing significant additional living space. With 6 bedrooms (office options!), 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, the home accommodates a wide range of living needs, including guest space, home office, and recreation. Interior highlights include hardwood floors, crown moldings, two fireplaces, skylights, and a distinctive room featuring vaulted ceilings, stained glass elements, and direct access to the private garden. The spacious kitchen includes high-quality custom cabinetry and a functional layout with abundant natural light. The finished lower level expands the home with a large family room, additional bedrooms, a full bath with steam shower, exercise room, and extensive storage. Mechanical features include sump and ejector systems with backup, hardwired data connections, and durable finishes throughout. Additional features include an attached heated garage with epoxy flooring, attic storage, on-site parking for multiple vehicles, and a fully enclosed lot with multiple gated access points. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive ranch home with exceptional outdoor space in a prime Galewood location near Oak Park and the Mars Metra Station. A gem!
