What a transformation! Since 2012, the current owners of 734 S. Scoville have lovingly and painstakingly updated their home while still retaining its original character. The main floor is light and bright with hardwood floors, modern lighting and an open concept layout that's hard to find among historic homes. A spacious LR w/gas fireplace is adjacent to the sunroom, the perfect spot to read while drinking your morning cup of Joe. The chef's kitchen, remodeled and opened up to the dining room in 2014, is a showstopper w/beautiful cabinetry, leathered quartzite countertops, and a 9-foot-long butcher-block topped island that easily seats six! The main floor bath is stunning w/decorative floor tile, a midcentury-style vanity and quality fixtures (new in 2019). Upstairs, you'll find three good-size bedrooms, a tandem currently used as an office and another full bath that was updated in 2016. The finished family room in the basement is an ideal spot to play board games or hang out with friends. Outside, the backyard is fully fenced and a true oasis with new landscaping, party lights and a new deck (2020) for relaxing summer meals. Plus, there's a two-car garage and parking pad for out-of-town guests. Additional improvements: new copper water service line to the street & new exterior doors (2014); upgraded attic insulation (2017); new washer/dryer (2018); installed Nest thermostats, Ring doorbell and Smart garage door opener (2019); home's exterior and garage painted (2020); and a new water heater in 2022. All this, within walking distance to Fox Park, schools, the blue line, and south Oak Park Avenue's many shops and restaurants. Homes like 734 S. Scoville don't hit the market often.
