We cordially invite you to experience the entirety of this 1 bedroom corner unit with included parking and architectural views in 3D/virtual reality before seeing it in real life! Welcome home to your recently updated corner condo with extra sun exposure, an updated & expanded kitchen, a newer bathroom and updated flooring. Exterior parking space #41 is included in the price and the assessments for a building of this size are very reasonable. This building is located less than a block from the heart of Forest Park's central business district, Madison Street. There are mom & pop shops, restaurants, bars, gyms, even a Starbucks. If that's not enough, Downtown Oak Park is only 3 minutes away via car with lots of big box retailers and plenty more restaurants, shopping, groceries, and other shops too numerous to mention. Those that want scenic walks can also enjoy the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District, northeast of the downtown Oak Park shopping area. Commuters will appreciate the 3-minute easy access to the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290) and being within walking distance to buses and the Forest Park CTA Blue Line. Unit upgrades include a 2021 updated kitchen with new cabinetry (slow-close doors & drawers), hardware, HDF laminated countertops, 2 lazy susan cabinets, floor-to-ceiling refrigerator-depth corner pantry, electric stove/oven, refrigerator, and a dishwasher. 2021 also saw an updated electrical panel, new Dimplex elecgtric baseboard heating in in the living room, eating area, bedroom and bathroom, and new NuCore Performance vinyl flooring with sound-absorbing, mildew/moisture-resistant & crush-proof underlayment. 2022 updates included bathroom updates such as a new vanity, hardware, toilet, refinished bathtub, hexagonal floor tiles, wall tiles, ventilation, lighting and a vanity mirror. The bedroom carpeting was also replaced in 2022 with pet stain-resistant carpeting. 2023 updates include the addition of the foyer bench with pillow top and underneath shoe storage and 2024 updates include some painting as well as the addition of the kitchen accent walls. This unit is convenient, updated, and its living areas have been reconfigured to maximize both efficiency and modern functionality. There is plenty of supplemental storage, whether it be shoe storage, floor-to-ceiling pantry space, or a separate storage closet on the main level.
