Property Description

Nestled in the heart of River Forest, this meticulously cared-for Victorian home exudes charm, character, and modern comfort, blending timeless elegance with thoughtful updates. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this home is primed for family living and entertaining alike. As you step inside the welcoming foyer, you're greeted by a cozy fireplace that opens to a spacious front living room, complete with a large bay window that brings in abundant natural light and offers views of the beautifully landscaped neighborhood. The inviting, larger front porch leads you into a serene sunroom-perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while overlooking the tranquil backyard fountain. This home's character shines through in its exquisitely maintained millwork, while the separate dining room, with a charming window bench, provides the ideal spot for reading or extra seating for guests. The newly renovated kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, 42" white cabinetry, and even a built-in coffee/espresso maker for a luxurious start to your day. Just off the kitchen, the family room's cozy fireplace and French doors open onto a cedar back porch, refurbished and ready for outdoor entertaining. Additional upgrades to the backyard include a sleek black steel fence and an electric gate, adding both style and privacy, as well as a zoned outdoor sprinkler system to keep your landscaping lush and vibrant. The main floor also offers a versatile 4th bedroom and a beautifully appointed full bathroom with heated floors-perfect for guests, who also have private access to the back porch for a morning coffee retreat. Upstairs, the second floor boasts a spacious primary suite with a recently updated bathroom that includes heated floors for ultimate comfort. A conveniently located second-floor laundry room makes laundry day a breeze. Two additional sizable bedrooms and a full hallway bathroom complete the second level. The finished basement serves as an exceptional additional living space, complete with a pool table for gatherings and entertainment. A fourth full bathroom and a large, unfinished storage area round out the basement, providing ample room for seasonal decorations and extra belongings. Located just steps from vibrant Keystone Park, residents can enjoy an array of community amenities, including tennis and pickleball courts, platform tennis, baseball fields, and the Depot, which hosts a variety of Park District classes and activities. This home is truly the heart of River Forest living! Client DOES NOT want to move until end of March 2025.
