The Best of Oak Park Living with the City at Your Doorstep.This is the kind of home that simply makes sense, whether you’re an investor, considering multi-family living, or looking for a flexible layout that adapts to your lifestyle. With one bedroom and a full bath on the main level, two bedrooms upstairs, and flex space in the walkout basement, the setup offers versatility that works beautifully for a variety of needs. It’s also an especially strong option for medical residents working near the local hospitals. Located at 706 S Oak Park Avenue, the home offers exceptional convenience for commuters and frequent travelers alike. Enjoy easy access to both the CTA Blue Line (Forest Park branch) and the CTA Green Line, as well as Metra’s Oak Park station, making trips downtown or across Chicagoland simple and efficient. Whether you’re heading into the Loop, nearby suburbs, or catching a flight, you’ll appreciate the straightforward access to both Midway and O’Hare International Airports. From the moment you step onto the enclosed front porch, you can picture quiet mornings with coffee or a good book. Inside, the living and dining rooms feel warm and welcoming, highlighted by lovely woodwork and an easy flow into a bright kitchen filled with sunlight from four windows. The kitchen features granite countertops, cherry-tone cabinetry, and lightly used stainless steel appliances that feel both practical and polished. The main level also includes a comfortable bedroom, a full bathroom, and ample storage. Upstairs, you’ll find two nicely sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary, along with a full bath. Skylights bring in beautiful natural light, giving the space an open, airy feel. The walkout basement adds even more flexibility, offering a home office area, a large laundry and utility room, and flex space that can easily adapt to your needs, whether for a workout area, art studio, hobby room, rec room, or additional living space. Thoughtful updates like newer windows and a newer boiler add peace of mind. A deck just off the kitchen is perfect for outdoor meals or entertaining, while the two-car garage, built in the early 2000s, offers extra functionality along with a cantilevered outdoor area
