About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to River Forest, one of the most unique neighborhoods where homes rarely come available! Nestled amidst the large old oak trees and lush Florida landscape in the sought-after neighborhood of River Forest, this four-bedroom, four-bath home exudes character, charm and an “Old Florida” feel from the moment you drive in and onto the welcoming front porch. This unique and extraordinary home boasts Saltillo terracotta tile flooring, exposed Old Chicago brick walls, unique ceiling detail, a gas fireplace, a fabulous kitchen and large windows and doors providing tranquil garden views from almost every room. Designed for entertaining, there is a living room, dining room, family room and an additional living area with a wet bar. The kitchen boasts white cabinetry, solid surface countertops, Viking professional range, a rectangular island with counter-height seating and storage, a separate breakfast bar, and a large pantry with a desk area, pullout storage with access to the laundry room. The owner’s retreat features a private sitting room, double ensuite baths, a large custom-organized walk-in closet and access to the patio, connected to the lanai. There are three additional bedrooms and baths proving able room for family and guests. Additional features include an oversized garage with workspace, in-wall pest control, central vacuum system and surround sound throughout all main living areas, owner’s suite, garage and lanai. The unique outdoor spaces, an inviting pool and spa, and a large backyard complete this amazing home. New roof in 5/22, 3 zoned AC (1 new), new pool pump. The community of River Forest is very quaint with just 24 homes and includes a private park with walking paths, a fishing dock and a kayak launch along the Braden River. All this in a great location close to Nathan Benderson Park, the Mall at University Town Center, Waterside and easy access to I-75 and stunning beaches!
