About This Home

As of February 2021

Darling, unassuming and spacious is this special, light-filled 3+ bedroom, 2.5 bath River Forest brick bungalow. Inviting and comfortable living space throughout. Living room is perfect to relax and cozy up around the gas-log fireplace, reading a good book or playing board games. Enjoy family dinners in the large, southern-exposed dining room. Efficient kitchen functions well with ample storage between the 42-inch cabinets, pantry closet, retro wall storage and movable island. Granite countertops and all-new appliances in 2018. Kitchen connects seamlessly to the smartly-finished mud room that flows nicely to the finished basement. Included in the well-designed lower level is a large bedroom with full en-suite bath and walk-in closet. A separate powder room services the family room, kitchenette and laundry center. Bonus exercise space, desk nook and wine room, too. All baths are completely new and home is painted in neutral tones throughout. 3 bedrooms on 1st floor. Electric and utility room mechanicals located for easy extension to finish second story. Many major renovations and improvements completed in 2018 including: 200 amp electric service, all new copper supply and PVC return plumbing, upgraded water service to street, basement zoned a/c and heat, newly-poured stained concrete floor, interior drain tile, sump pump and ejector pit, landscaping, fenced-in yard and newer 2-car garage. Most windows were replaced within past two years. Two levels with 2,400+ appx square feet of living with reasonable taxes. If you really want more room, the attic is expandable and has an interior stair. Just a few blocks to Lincoln Elementary, Roosevelt Middle School and Metra. Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street where people play outside and ride their bikes. Convenient to schools, transportation, library, tennis club, Keystone Park and so much more. This home is a real gem and move-in ready.
