About This Home
Elegant Victorian with Park Views in Riverside's Historic First Division Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street overlooking picturesque Scottswood Common, this stunning 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Victorian blends timeless elegance with thoughtful modern updates. Located in Riverside's coveted First Division, this home offers the perfect balance of classic architecture and contemporary convenience. Step inside through an inviting enclosed front porch-ideal for relaxing or entertaining-into a light-filled open-concept living and dining area featuring high ceilings, original millwork, and a bay window with serene park views. The main level includes a fully remodeled powder room, newly refinished hardwood floors (2017), and a beautifully updated kitchen complemented by a classic butler's pantry, custom Amish cabinetry, and a new refrigerator (2024) and dishwasher (2020). The second floor features three bedrooms, a cozy family room, and two fully renovated bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and another full bath-perfect for larger families, guests. Plus an office room for remote work. This home has been well maintained with major investments in comfort and efficiency: dual-zone air conditioners replaced in 2023 and freshly painted interiors in 2024. Upgrades include a new cement driveway (2014), full plumbing remodel for all bathrooms, and complete replacement of the main water line, sewer line, and above-ground sewer system (2014). Some gutter repairs and replacements were completed in 2024. Outside, enjoy a professionally landscaped backyard retreat and a two-car garage. All of this within easy walking distance to the Metra, top-rated schools, shops, restaurants, and the public library. A rare blend of character, space, and location-this is Riverside living at its best. Agent owned.
