Almost 3900 square feet on the first two floors plus a fully finished basement. There's plenty of room to LIVE (with a FIRST FLOOR FULL BEDROOM AND BATH), WORK (a private home office(s)), and PLAY in the private fenced yard. The open main level flows well for entertaining, too, while fully wired for sound. The beautiful eat-in kitchen features a reverse osmosis water filter system, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances with a commercial-grade stove and hood. The ENORMOUS FINISHED BASEMENT has beautiful marble flooring throughout and a full bath. Plenty of room for everyone on the second floor with four oversized bedrooms (including the ensuite primary bedroom with cathedral ceilings), three full baths, a convenient laundry room, and a huge office/bonus room. Additional highlights - ATTACHED TWO-CAR GARAGE, and a large, private fenced yard with patio. An ideal home for multi-generational family living and hosting out of town friends and family. Just steps from the Metra, Green Line, shopping, and restaurants. Award-winning River Forest schools, too! The BEST value per spare foot in River Forest!
