About This Home

As of March 2025

Light and bright new(er) construction (2018) preferred end-unit townhome in River Forest. There is plenty of space to spread out on the first and primary floor living levels. You'll find a family room plus a full bath on the ground level, which could also function as a guest bedroom or office. The main living level features a large living room, an open layout kitchen/dining area, and a spacious balcony perfect for alfresco meals or enjoying the gorgeous sunset views. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features abundant kitchen storage and prep space in the upgraded extra-large island, high-end Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances, and farmhouse sink. The third level combines the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and convenient laundry. A quick walk to great restaurants, shopping, and parks, plus a 12-minute walk to the Metra, too. Just a 5-minute drive to the 290 expressway. So much to love with this one!
