About This Home

Welcome to this amazing "Buurma Built" Mediterranean Revival style home in the heart of beautiful River Forest. With nearly 5,000 square feet of pure luxury, this impressive estate is packed with Art Deco and Spanish influences. As you step inside, you'll notice the arched entryways, pristine oak floors, and original wrought iron details, all beautifully complemented by modern updates. The grand entry foyer welcomes you, allowing you to soak in the home's stunning features right away. From there, flow straight into the spacious formal living room, which is perfect for multiple conversation areas. The sunroom, with its unique round design, is a rare gem and an ideal spot for coffee visits. The formal dining room is ready to host all your favorite holidays, while the family room and breakfast room are perfectly situated nearby. But it's the chef's kitchen that truly steals the show. Designed by Mark Menna Design of River Forest in 2022, this kitchen is a masterpiece featuring custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a layout that balances beauty and utility. It's perfect for whipping up family meals and entertaining, all while overlooking the lush backyard of this 183-foot deep lot. When you ascend the grand staircase, you'll find a primary suite that feels like a retreat you won't want to leave. This level also includes two more spacious bedrooms, each with its own en suite bath. The staircase continues up to the third level, where you'll discover two more bright bedrooms and the fifth full bathroom. Don't forget to check out the rec space and the original vintage speakeasy-style bar in the basement, along with the 3-car attached garage. This home is loaded with system and utility upgrades that enhance its overall smooth function, making it a truly magnificent estate.
