About This Home
As of April 2026**Multiple offers received, calling for Highest and Best by Sunday midnight.** This spacious 2-bedroom, 2-full-bath condo is located in the peaceful and friendly Rivers Edge community in northern Des Plaines. With easy access to I-294, just 10 minutes from O'Hare, and a short 10-minute walk to the Metra, the location offers excellent flexibility for any commute. The home is also within minutes of the Des Plaines River Trail and river walk, providing easy access to scenic outdoor recreation. Inside, you'll find oversized bedrooms, recently renovated bathrooms, abundant storage, and a grand fireplace that anchors the living space and makes the home feel warm and inviting. Thoughtfully updated and meticulously cared for, the condo is move-in ready. Storage is exceptional for a condo, including a 1-car garage parking space, a locking garage storage closet with built-in shelving, an oversized coat closet, a hall linen closet, and additional linen closets in both bathrooms. The expansive garden window in the kitchen was recently replaced in 2024, bringing in abundant natural light. The first-floor location offers unbeatable convenience for everyday living, with easy grocery access and a walkout back door to a patio and semi-private wooded garden. Despite the close proximity to major highways and transit, the unit is tucked into a quiet, residential setting offering a rare combination of comfort, privacy, and accessibility that's increasingly hard to find.
