About This Home
As of May 2023Charming, super cute, recently updated 4 bedroom 3.1 bath home on quiet tree lined street in River Forest. This home is deceptively spacious with a modern floor plan, but also retains its vintage characteristics throughout. The first floor has gorgeous leaded glass windows in the sunroom, the living room is centered with a beautiful brick fireplace and beamed ceilings and stained glass windows let sun stream into the dining room. An office and large eat-in kitchen with pantry overlook the huge 200 ft backyard. Second floor has 4 nicely sized bedrooms with an ensuite primary bath along with a 2nd full bath for the kids or guests. Brand new basement with plenty of space for entertaining or relaxing. Separate workout room, half bath and laundry. New high efficiency HVAC, water heater, sump pump. Walk to Metra, parks, library and schools.
