23701 Marlow Ave

One of the largest, custom-designed homes in the neighborhood! 2,518 square feet on 3 levels, plus 808 square feet semi-finished basement. Only one owner: 7 children were raised here... and 5 generations of family (and pets) have enjoyed living in or visiting its warm, comfortable, inviting space! We built this custom, one-of-a-kind home in 1956, based on the architectural plans plus improvements of an exclusive home in the northwest suburbs. It is a quad-level design: Top level has a master bedroom with a 3/4 bathroom, plus 3 additional bedrooms with 1 full bathroom. Main level has a large living/family room plus large kitchen/dining room and 1 half bathroom. Lower level has a huge recreation room with working fireplace, plus a separate large room (great for a 5th or guest bedroom, office and/or library), a 1/2 kitchen, and a 3/4 bathroom. The basement has laundry, shelving and workshop/creative space. Notes: * Recently installed Fiber for up to 5,000 GIG Super-fast Internet/Wifi * Each of the 5 bedrooms is large enough for two twin beds or one queen/king bed... and even more if you consider bunk-beds for kids. * All three stairways are each 6 non-steep steps, with railings... accessible for elderly or disabled. * Double-pane windows throughout provide much sunlight. * Parking for 3 cars in full house-length driveway, plus parking of additional cars on street in front. (Our street, previously known as Marlow Street, was officially renamed "Marlow Avenue" as of 2022.) * Easy access to all of Southeast Michigan and elsewhere; only 1/2-mile from Interstate I-696 . * Conveniently located a few blocks away from beautiful Oak Park Park & Community Center – for nature, jogging/fitness, kids outdoor playgrounds, outdoor sports, hockey arena, summer swimming, public library... and lots of other activities for people of all ages. * Conveniently located near public, private and parochial schools; shopping & dining. * This unique and well-designed home – in a friendly, safe and quiet neighborhood – has lots of space for comfortable and convenient living, working, entertaining, hosting and relaxing!
