1231 Highland Ave
I'm popping back over to Berwyn today, but with a twist: this house is located right at the very tippy-top edge of Berwyn, on the Oak Park border. Which means that instead of using Metra, you could actually walk to the Austin Blue Line stop. And, of course, the rest of Oak Park.
From the outside, I'll admit this house doesn't look great. It looks a lot like my house when I bought it - covered in faux-stone siding with an outdated awning. However, a new portico would do wonders (I speak from experience) and wait until you see the inside!
It's a full gut rehab, with gorgeous hardwood floors and a consistent gray and white design scheme. The rehabbers haven't done anything groundbreaking with their design choices, but it's cohesive, understated and beautiful.
Move right in to this 4 bed, 2.5 bath home for $327k. Somebody buy this house!
