Welcome home to luxurious, sophisticated and maintenance-free condo living on the 4th floor of this elegant brick and stone Rivers Edge building! This highly upgraded, meticulously maintained two-bedroom, two-bath corner-end unit offers breathtaking views of the Half Day Forest Preserve including views to the river and is filled with custom details that truly sets it apart.

This property also includes two deeded parking spots in the underground garage with two adjacent secure storage spaces and the exclusive benefit of the only deeded storage closet, approximately 08 x 06, on the same floor as the condo unit.
