If DIY home renovation isn’t really your bag, this turn-key Oak Park farm house with designer-quality finishes and decor has you covered. With all the messy work out of the way, this farmhouse style home sports new fixtures and a trendy blend of midcentury modern furnishings and a neutral color pallet punctuated by indoor accent plants.

Dating back to roughly the mid 1890s, the five-bedroom family friendly home features 12-foot ceilings and sturdy Douglas fir construction atop a limestone foundation. It is situated on an oversized 8,600-square-foot lot wrapped in a white picket fence that really plays into the whole farmhouse chic look.

Located close to downtown Oak Park, the CTA, and schools, the property last sold in the middle of 2016 and appeared considerably different both inside and out prior to its most recent rehab. The home is back and currently seeking $849,000.
