4953 Oakton St

A mid-rise, seven-story condominium built in 2005 that concentrates on spacious three-bedroom layouts and generous ceiling heights. The building’s exterior presents a brick-faced, masonry mid-rise profile with balconies and a roof deck, while the lobby is described as award-winning and monitored with security features. Typical residences emphasize open floorplans, nine-foot or cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors in main living areas, granite or quartz counters, cherry or maple cabinetry, generous walk-in closets and in-unit laundry; many units include a gas fireplace, pantry and substantial storage on the same floor. Shared amenities are oriented to social and leisure uses and include an elevator, a private theatre, a party/meeting room, and common storage; several listings note a well-kept party room with theatre seating for events. Parking is deeded heated garage spaces, sometimes available for additional purchase, and some maintenance assessments include gas, heat, water, cable and snow removal. Pet policies are broadly permissive in practice (dogs and cats allowed in many units). Located in downtown Skokie, the building sits within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, transit (CTA Yellow Line Oakton–Skokie station), library and neighborhood services, offering a walkable in-town lifestyle and easy access to commuter routes.
