About This Home

As of June 2021

Stunning River Forest home with loads of updates in a fabulous central location and room to roam beckons! Home showcases traditional charm and character throughout on a beautifully landscaped lot with gleaming hardwood floors and large windows providing ample natural light. Step into the welcoming center foyer which leads to a huge bright living room gas fireplace - space for multiple conversation areas - and adjacent sunroom (currently a kids play space). On other side of foyer, cozy up to unwind in the large first-floor family room. The addition (possibly done in the 1940s!) is massive and has a formal dining room with space for your largest holiday gatherings. Cooking is a breeze and delight in the freshly-remodelled (2017) kitchen featuring quality pristine white cabinetry, quartz countertops, newer stainless appliances, designer tile backsplash (up to ceiling), touchless faucet, charming windows, pantry space, which leads to the adjacent breakfast room. Retire upstairs to the generous second level featuring five bedrooms plus an office, a large primary bedroom with loads of closet space (can be deconverted to two bedrooms as originally configured), and updated hall bathrooms. Potential to easily make the back of home into a private primary suite (see floor plans). And the newly insulated, walk-up attic offers additional storage. Still need more space? The high and dry newly finished basement features another large family room, exercise space, powder room, a bright and clean laundry area, and additional storage. So much has been done since purchase - every inch of the home repainted, floors refinished, awnings removed, new triple pane windows installed (2017), basement refinished, new backyard patio (2019 - configured for future french doors through the breakfast room), radon mitigation system and new water heater (2019) installed. A 2.5 car garage, driveway, and lovely backyard make outdoor living and entertaining a dream, and the great location puts you in walking distance to parks, schools, Metra and Green Line, shopping, and more. This was to be sellers' forever home - but as the pandemic has shown us, things change. This is a fantastic, move-in ready home with quality finishes, solid bones and an incredible location - welcome home.
