About This Home

As of April 2026

Welcome Home to 231 Bartram Road in Riverside-an expansive home offering roughly 4,000 square feet of comfortable living space in a truly unbeatable location. The first floor features a large kitchen with a sun filled eating area and a convenient laundry room just off to the side. The living room, dining room, and family room flow together beautifully, anchored by double sided fireplaces that create a warm, open atmosphere. You'll find a versatile bonus room perfect for an office, hobby space, or den, along with two first floor bedrooms and a full bath. The attached garage is easily accessible, and two staircases lead you to the second floor. Upstairs, the primary suite includes walk-in closets and a spacious bath with double sinks, plus three additional bedrooms-two with their own walk-in closets. The full basement offers even more living and storage options with another fireplace, a half bath, wet bar, workshop area, and generous storage space. Additional features include a house generator and an as-is sprinkler system. Just steps from the Big Ball Park and close to downtown Riverside for shopping, dining, and schools-with the Brookfield Zoo, forest preserves, and the Metra station nearby-this home offers space, convenience, and limitless potential. Home has been well cared for but needs updating and is being sold AS IS.
