Property Description

Featured in the 2023 Frank Lloyd Wright Plus Housewalk, this much admired 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Oak Park's rich architectural history. Designed by noted architect James Cady in 1909 for prominent banker and bond financier Edward Cornelius Cronwall, this stately home sits on a beautifully landscaped half-acre lot in Oak Park's prestigious estate section. Set behind wrought iron fencing and surrounded by an English-style garden, the home's curb appeal is as striking as its interior elegance. A grand marble- floored foyer welcomes you into an expansive, light-filled living and dining area designed for entertaining-featuring a coffered ceiling, recessed lighting, marble fireplace, and a charming window seat with garden views. This impressive space can comfortably accommodate a large gathering. The chef's kitchen is a true showstopper, boasting a 10-foot quartz island, top-tier appliances, and thoughtfully designed eating and office areas-ideal for both daily living and hosting gatherings. A richly paneled mahogany library offers floor-to-ceiling bookcases, a marble fireplace, and stunning beveled-glass pocket doors. French doors from the sunroom open onto a serene side terrace. Throughout the home, you'll find exquisite details-from hand-painted wallpaper along the extra-wide staircase to original architectural elements that reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The luxurious primary suite includes a marble gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and ensuite bath. The third floor adds versatility with a full bath, second kitchen, laundry, and a spacious recreation or family room. Outdoors, the red brick patio, clay tile roof, and copper gutters blend seamlessly with the home's historic charm. The heated and air-conditioned two-car garage includes a fully outfitted coach house apartment, perfect for guests, extended family, or potential rental income. A sprinkler system and lush plantings ensure the grounds remain a private oasis. This is a rare chance to own an architecturally significant home, meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated for modern living, in one of Oak Park's most di
