Description

Stunning Victorian home in a perfect River Forest Location! This light-filled home offers an abundant amount of living space with an extensive addition to the gourmet kitchen, including a spacious family room and a back deck overlooking the manicured yard. The 3-story addition was completed in 2004 and also incorporated a fantastic mudroom along with a water proofed recreation room in the basement with a versatile feel. The living room offers tranquility with a gas burning fireplace and large, bright windows while the formal dining room flows seamlessly through the kitchen and living room. First floor office is a huge plus with sizeable space and quiet working area leading out to a small patio for more outdoor serenity. The 2nd floor has 3 large bedrooms, hardwood floors, and a cheery, renovated bathroom. For bonus outdoor space, a little patio off one of the bedrooms can be converted to a usable deck. Walk down the hall and enter the primary suite (part of the 2004 addition) that lends itself to privacy with two large walk-in closets and a gorgeous bathroom with marble tiles and a walk-in shower. This lovely home has been cherished and cared for! Plenty of storage in basement and pull down staircase in the 2.5 car garage.
