About This Home

As of September 2022

2% Price Improvement! Exceptional and spacious is this beautifully updated 4 BR/ 3.1 BA River Forest Craftsman bungalow where natural light exudes! Renovated in 2009 by current owners, they added a comfortably elegant cherry cabinet, all stainless appliance kitchen with an island that seamlessly blends into the Family Room. Also in '09 and with creative reconfiguring, an oh-so-lovely private 1st floor Primary Suite was born. It features a walk-in closet, bath w/ 6' Jacuzzi tub and dual sinks and makes for easy 1-story living with the added main-floor laundry closet with HE washer & dryer. And lest we not forget the richness and elegance of the living room with a gas-starter wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves and generous dining room...both with original crown moldings. Hardwood floors are throughout the main level. The carpeted 2nd floor has 3 roomy bedrooms with generous closets and a shared bath with steam shower. For the golf lover, the basement putting green (or fun play area) helps keep this homeowner on par and the adjacent full bath makes freshening up a breeze. It's also perfect for washing your pooch and having your athletes or gardeners clean up before entering the "main quarters"! Love the loads of basement flex space too with the mechanical room/ workshop and easy yard access. Known for being on the RF Garden Walk, this corner lot features a knockout yard and is a gardener's delight. Enjoy grilling and dining on the brick-paver patio surrounded by nature's beauty. Even more...the fountain beneath the pergola brings peace and serenity that will fill your soul. It's even better with evening lights. Many new Pella windows. Mechanicals: HE water heater-2013; HE furnace-2009. Roof was newer when owners purchased so believed to be about 15 years old. This 2,400+ sq ft centrally located RF gem is just a few blocks from Metra & CTA, elementary (Lincoln) and junior high (Roosevelt) high schools, library, and Jewel making this one is a slam dunk for easy living! WOW!!! NOTE: 2020 Property Taxes: $13,123.52 w/ NO exemption. Owners are filing for Certificate of Error.
