Ottawa, IL 61350 436 Park Avenue

Presenting one of Ottawa's most iconic residences, historically known as the Oak Lodge. This distinguished English Tudor, offering three bedrooms and two and a half baths, seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. Set on a private .66-acre lot, the home is introduced by a circular driveway, lush landscaping, and stunning gas lighting. A completely private 11x20 screened-in porch provides a serene retreat, overlooking a wooded ravine with the soothing sound of a flowing creek. The exterior exudes classic elegance with its brick construction, clay tile roof (new circa 2017), copper gutters, and a stately circular walkway. Inside, the home is equally impressive, with formal living and dining room, a spacious family room, and a beautifully updated kitchen designed for both style and function. Custom cabinetry, granite counters, a peninsula with seating, a wet bar, and stainless JENN-AIR appliances enhance the space. Historic details have been carefully preserved, including French doors, hardwood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and a hand-painted dining room ceiling, all contributing to the home's enduring charm. The upper level offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with hardwood floors and generous walk-in closets throughout. Additional features include a renovated circular driveway (2019), Pella windows, electric (2020), refinished hardwood floors throughout the home, added functioning gas lanterns in front and back of the home, new HVAC 2024, a full lawn irrigation system, and a natural gas grill hookup on the rear patio. A full unfinished basement provides ample storage and laundry facilities. With its combination of architectural pedigree, modern comforts, and a setting that feels like a private nature preserve, this remarkable residence stands among Ottawa's most sought-after homes.
