About This Home

Terrific opportunity is this roomy 3 BR/ 1.1 BA side-entrance brick Colonial. Original elegance, character, and fine bones are all right here! Natural light abounds. While this gem could use some TLC, the location is unmatched. Unfinished basement has high ceilings and full of potential. Family owned and maintained house for nearly 80 years. Located in prime central River Forest on a large 74" X 187" lot. Near schools, transportation, library, River Forest Town Center, and downtown Oak Park. Just blocks from the River Forest Tennis Club, Concordia and Dominican Universities! Note: This is an estate and will be sold "As Is".
