About This Home

As of November 2021

SPECTACULAR END UNIT lives like a house with stunning views from every room including multiple private outdoor spaces! Meticulously upgraded with custom enhancements to maximize the artful spaces. The lush landscaping that greets you and the front patio is a warm welcome to all your guests. Enter the foyer to find a Terrazzo Tile entry hall that opens to the family room with custom built-in cabinets and new neutral Stain Master Carpeting. The laundry room was relocated to this level & features Bosch W/D. There is a generous 1/2 bath and a heated 2 car garage! What a luxury on a cold winters day. The 1st place, award winning Kitchen was completely reimagined by the current owner and features extra large island, Plato Custom Cabinets with polished nickel handles and Calcutta Marble and Walnut countertops and high end appliances. Open the atrium door out to the balcony for that 1st cup of coffee as there is ample room for seating and your BBQ. The wall that separated the kitchen was opened up with a creative storage bridge above. This open floor plan allows for seamless entertaining and brings the park like views and sunlight into all the spaces. The dining and living room enjoy the cozy gas fireplace and views on 3 sides! Travel up the wide staircase to find that all 3 bedrooms are on the top level. The primary bedroom entryway was opened up for more of a substantial entrance and creates more separation into the luxurious, updated full bath with Plato Custom Cabinet and Armoire, artful lighting, Kohler sink and polished nickel faucets. There is a natural stone floor and countertop and delightful Italian tile in the shower. The primary bedroom enjoys terrific tree top views and a wall of custom closet space, done by Closet Works. Two additional ample bedrooms with good size closets and an additional, full hall bath complete this floor. There is a skylight to bring natural light into the stairwell that spills down to the next level. Back outside, enjoy the park like setting from your own patio or private side yard with architect designed landscaping, blue stone patio and fun Edison lighting. This unit has a new roof and heated gutters. Enjoyable inside and out. Short walk to the River Forest Metra stop, River Forest Community Center, Blue Ribbon Lincoln School, shopping, restaurants and a fun brewery! What more can you ask for?
