300 N Grove Ave. #1D

Welcome to the Roberts Building, an iconic 1928 art deco beauty on one of the prettiest blocks in the village, just steps from Scoville Park, the Library, transportation - everything OP has to offer. The largest floor plan in the building, 1D is a high first floor unit boasting prime position from the SW corner of Erie Street and Grove Avenue. AND, it comes with one of only 6 deeded parking spaces for the 16 units. The original floor-to-ceiling windows and southwestern exposure on this end unit ensure the light and views change with the seasons and never disappoint. A gracious, long hallway with 2 original, built-in wardrobes is ideal gallery space for art and photos, and leads to the formal dining room and kitchen. You'll delight in the galley kitchen, updated in 2010 with a generous soapstone work surface. The owner preserved the wide array of original glass-front cabinetry stretching to the ceiling, creating a space both beautiful and fully equipped to create meals for family and friends. The third bedroom is found here, along with a full bath and back door entry leading directly to your deeded, well covered, interior courtyard parking space. Architect E.E. Roberts intended this space for live-in help, but you couldn't ask for a more perfect work-from-home setup in 2022! The two main bedrooms are generously sized and share a "Jack and Jill" full bath with re-glazed bathtub and 2016-2017 shower fixtures, sink and commode. The cleanest, brightest basement in Oak Park is where you'll find your private, full-sized storage space, community bike room, laundry, shared filtered reverse-osmosis water tap, and the history of the building. There are blueprints, vintage photos, and village awards for preservation adorning the walls. This home is truly a unique and special package of location, space, history, and timeless beauty. Deeded, covered interior courtyard parking space included!
