About This Home
As of August 2023Rarely seen, this contemporary top-floor condo with two bedrooms and two full baths includes remarkably spacious rooms. A large 25 ft wide living room and adjacent 17 ft wide dining room make for an open and flexible floor plan. A pocket door leads to the eat-in kitchen featuring stone flooring, granite countertops with a tiled backsplash, an undermount stainless steel sink, and a dishwasher. Both large bedrooms have separate double closets along with attractive ceiling light fans. One of the full baths has a walk-in shower and the second full bath has a bathtub with a linen closet. Recent updates include a new Miele Washer/Dryer (2022). This condo has a separate new furnace (2016) along with a new A/C (2016). The well-maintained, 6-unit, self-managed building has a new tear-off roof (2021) and chimney tuck pointed (2021). This unit includes two storage units in the basement along with two tandem parking spaces. With an award-winning River Forest school district, this 1600+ square ft condo, located on a quiet cul-de-sac street, is worth a look.
