About this home

Opportunity knocks in desirable Oakbrook! This 3-bedroom, 1.75 bath rambler offers 1,528 sq. ft. of single-level living on a nearly 10,000 sq. ft. lot, ready for the next owner to make it their own. Inside, you'll find a functional floor plan, river rock fireplace, vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors in pristine condition. A solid starting point for buyers looking to update, personalize and build equity while preserving the home's midcentury modern charm. A detached 2 car garage connects to the home by an enclosed breezeway, adding useful, covered space and flexibility. Out back, a finished outbuilding is ready to become a home office, studio, or hobby room, while a separate garden/storage shed offers even more space. Located in established Oakbrook, close to parks, shopping and Oakbrook Golf Club, and right next to the Oakbrook Swim & Tennis Club. Priced at $460,000 to reflect the opportunity for updates, with a head start on building equity in a sought-after neighborhood. This home has been loved and lived in by the same owner for more than 30 years, and many of her belongings remain in the home. We ask buyers to look beyond the contents and see the home and potential underneath. Select listing photos include AI-edited versions with personal belongings digitally removed to help buyers visualize the rooms cleared out. Bring your ideas and vision. Please note that showings require 24-hour notice.
