Edison Park is one of Chicago’s most beloved neighborhoods for families who want a true community feel without giving up city convenience. Known for its tree-lined streets and classic brick homes, the area offers a quieter residential atmosphere while still being walkable to parks, schools, and local favorites along Oliphant Avenue.
Families are drawn to Edison Park for its access to green space, including nearby Brooks Park, as well as its strong sense of neighborhood pride. The area features a mix of long-time homeowners and growing families, which helps create a welcoming, lived-in feel. Easy access to Metra and major roadways also makes commuting manageable while keeping everyday errands close to home.
Homes here tend to offer more space—both indoors and out—than many other Chicago neighborhoods, making recent sales like this one especially relevant for buyers and sellers watching the local market.
Welcome to your beautiful expanded brick residence in the heart of Edison Park-just steps from Brooks Park and within walking distance to Ebinger and St. Juliana’s schools, as well as the vibrant downtown Edison Park dining scene. Set on a beautifully landscaped lot with a backyard that feels like your own private resort, this timeless home blends classic character with thoughtful updates and a two-story addition completed in 2012. Inside, you’re greeted by a sun-filled living room with hardwood floors (throughout the first and second floors), elegant crown molding, and an arched entry that flows into a formal dining room and an open floor plan connecting to the expansive kitchen, family room, and backyard deck. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a private office, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with a steam shower. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom with a soaking tub, offering comfort for family or guests. The kitchen features expanded granite countertops with island bar seating, a built-in pantry, and high-end stainless steel appliances including a double oven, microwave drawer, Wolf range, and a new Bosch dishwasher (2025). An adjacent breakfast nook offers a cozy space for casual meals. A convenient powder room is located near the entrance. The inviting family room features a fireplace and French doors leading out to the private backyard with a multi-level deck with a built-in above-ground pool, patio, and a fire pit and grill area-perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The basement adds flexible living space with a large recreation room, custom bar, wine/beverage fridge, and dedicated laundry/utility area. Two storage rooms offer additional organization space for every need. A detached two-car garage, accessed via the alley, adds convenience and functionality to this exceptional home. Updates include a full roof replacement with the addition (2012), zoned HVAC (2012), water heater (2022), Marvin windows (2021), washer (2020), dryer (2017), and pool filter (2024). A drain tile system has also been installed in the basement for added peace of mind.
