454 Iowa St., Oak Park, IL 60302

This one of a kind and much admired, charming English Arts and Crafts style cottage is nestled on a beautifully landscaped lot overlooking a splendid pond in the heart of the FLW Historic District. This Lawrence Buck designed home has been lovingly cared for by the current owner and sensitively restored by recognized preservation architect John Thorpe. This home is part of Oak Park's architectural history and has been featured on the Wright Plus House Walk, the Arts and Crafts Home Tour and the Oak Park River Forest Garden Walk. The garden also won the Chicago Tribune Glorious Gardens contest as the "Garden of Song". Even with its nostalgic cottage charm, it was ahead of its time when built, as it has a surprisingly open floor plan. Welcoming screened in front porch is a delight at any time of the day. Or sit by the cozy fire in the Inglenook. Many improvements include: kitchen, baths, space-pac, state-of-the-art boiler, relined chimney. All this is a very walkable location!
