About This Home

As of March 2025

Stylish, bright and beautiful describes this awesome townhouse. This end unit is one of the best locations in the complex. As you enter the foyer, there is a partial wall which divides this large room. The current owners use this as their home office. There is also a first floor full bath. Upstairs is a gorgeous eat in kitchen with a huge center island and beautiful white cabinetry. There are upscale SS appliances, quartz countertops and an under counter wine cooler. The sun-drenched living room is spacious and great for entertaining. The third floor has a large primary suite with a walk-in closet, 2 other bedrooms, another full bath and the washer/dryer. This is a great, walk to the train, River Forest location close to parks, pickleball/tennis courts and schools. Nothing to do here but move in.
