About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to this classic American 4-Square in the heart of beautiful River Forest! Exquisite art-glass windows, gorgeous oak trim and a simple layout grace this space. The large formal living room with its original custom built-ins is enough space for multiple conversation areas. The large dining room with original oak and glass hutch can host your favorite holidays. The large kitchen space is a blank slate ready for your design. All three bedrooms, including the large primary are located on the 2nd floor along with the house's full bath. All this sitting on a grand 50x179ft park-like lot! This home is certainly livable but requires repairs and is being sold in completely "as-is" condition in accordance with the current Multi-Board 8.0 contract.
