Oak Park homes.

Linden Avenue. Though most famous for its Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, Oak Park has a wealth of other historic architecture. This Federal-style, four-bedroom home from 1892 got a complete renovation in 2014 that restored original details and added high-end modern amenities.

The house has a master bedroom with sitting room, a granite kitchen with eat-in island and butler's pantry, and a formal dining room, living room, library, and solarium. The landscaped property includes a sports court. $1,550,000. Steve Scheuring, Baird & Warner Oak Park/River Forest, (708) 369-8043.

North Taylor Avenue. This five-bedroom 1917 Craftsman home offers 3,000 square feet of living space. A recent gut renovation gave it a second story, a finished basement, an open layout, Viking appliances, and fine custom details such as hand-scraped oak floors.
