About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to your new home at 1124 North Harlem Avenue in River Forest! This end-unit three-level townhome has two bedrooms, 2.1 bathrooms (one on each floor), plus a family room flex space in the basement, giving you plenty of space to live. As you enter, you'll notice the beautiful hardwood floors in the living room and dining area and fresh paint that gives the whole space a bright and welcoming feel. The kitchen features granite counters and stainless steel appliances. Downstairs, the finished basement offers recreation/family room space, a full bath, utility room, and laundry. Recent updates mean less worry and more comfort: the roof was replaced in 2020, the furnace is new as of 2023, the water heater was replaced in 2017, and there is a brand-new dishwasher. Plus, tuck-pointing was completed in the spring of 2024. One on-site parking space is included. And yes, it's pet-friendly, so bring your furry friends along!
