Property Description
Welcome to 538 S Humphrey - Charming 5-Bedroom Bungalow in Prime Oak Park Location! Full of character and charm, this beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends classic architecture with thoughtful modern updates. The craftsman style exterior is clad in brick and stucco with fire and pest-resistant Hardie fiber cement siding installed in 2015. Ideally located near restaurants, shopping, and the CTA Blue & Green Lines, it offers the perfect combination of convenience and timeless appeal. Upon arrival, you're welcomed by a newly rebuilt open concrete front porch. Step inside to find gorgeous hardwood floors and a warm, inviting living room featuring a charming decorative fireplace framed by beautiful built-in shelving. Newer architecturally appropriate Weather Shield windows on the main level echo the home's original character and allow natural light to pour in throughout the day. The refreshed kitchen includes a custom oversized pantry, red oak hardwood flooring, and a timeless white subway tile backsplash. A standout feature of the home is the ~400 sq. ft. sunroom/family room addition; expertly designed, professionally constructed, and thoughtfully finished with custom closets. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes two walk-in closets with newer custom shelving, while a previous bedroom has been converted into a professionally designed walk-in closet, offering optimal storage and organization. Step outside to a professionally landscaped, fully fenced backyard featuring a newer brick paver patio, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A 2-car detached garage and unfinished basement with newer windows offer ample storage and flexibility to meet your needs. Move in with peace of mind thanks to numerous updates, including a full roof replacement (2015), upgraded 200 AMP electrical service (2015), Hardie siding installation (2015), refreshed stucco (2015), wrought iron and wood fencing (2016), and newly installed carpeting in the guest bedroom and on the stairs (2022). Please refer to the attached feature sheet for a full list of updates. This is a truly special home that blends historic charm with modern comfort in a family friendly Oak Park location, steps from the new Community Recreation Center (CRC) and the Harrison Arts District.
