Going Up? Snag This Oak Lawn Townhome With An Elevator And You Could Be

Clay Stapp & Company’s Kelly Gurnee said his latest listing in Oak Lawn is impeccable. And if there’s a level above impeccable, it’s that. He’s helped the current owners buy and sell several homes and he said they won’t consider anything that’s even .1 percent less than perfection. Then they make it even better.

Constructed in 2007, Gurnee said everyone that came through the open house last weekend was shocked — and maybe even a little shook — that it wasn’t brand new. But that’s what happens when you have two tip-top owners at the helm.

“Which Floor, Sir?”

Now, what did they do when they moved in. Oh, not much. JUST ADDED A FREAKING ELEVATOR. What the what? Yep. The builder’s original design allowed for the addition of an elevator at any time. (On each of the three floors he stacked a generous closet in the exact same space.) An additional $60,000+ later, VOILA, instant elevator. Even better? The owners opted for all the upgrades. This isn’t a freight elevator. It’s an oak-lined luxury lift that is literally only missing an attendant.

The entire townhome is exceptionally grand. And even though it’s technically a townhome, it’s detached so it lives like a lock-and-leave, non-shared wall home. There are multiple living areas including the grandest of them all, a partially covered rooftop deck. It’s perfect for the legendary Eclipse Watching Party you’ll be throwing and inviting us all to. Haven’t heard enough about the eclipse yet? Stick with me kid, I’ll mention it daily.

Now, the second biggest selling feature is literally the BIGGEST SELLING FEATURE. It’s a mega primary suite that is easily large enough for an office or as Gurnee said, you could have your own half living room in there. Or if you’re a bit of clotheshorse, what if you turned it into an open closet situation with a padded settee that may or may not have tassels. Just thinking out loud here.

And finally, we come to the reason the owners purchased this home in the first place — the location. Set in the heart of Oak Lawn with a walkability score of 96, it’s close to every amazing chef and their kitchens you can handle. It’s super easy to get around the city, too, and both airports. Why do I mention that? Well, Gurnee said this setup is perfect for snowbirds or anyone wanting a second home in the city.

Stop by the open house this weekend both Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Make sure you take a ride in the elevator. Gurnee said there will be an etched crystal bowl filled with Andy’s Candies, limit one per rider.

Gurnee has 3310 Hall Court listed for $998,000.
