Description

Welcome home to one of River Forest's most desirable neighborhoods, where everyday conveniences are just a short walk away. Imagine starting your morning with an easy stroll to the Metra, walking the kids to school, spending afternoons at Keystone Park, or stopping by the library-all without getting in the car. Inside, the home feels welcoming from the moment you walk in, with spacious rooms, abundant natural light, and a floor plan that makes everyday living easy. The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances (Miele oven), and a sunny breakfast area where family and friends naturally gather. Just off the kitchen, the generous family room offers plenty of space to relax, host movie nights, or cheer on your favorite team. A large mudroom keeps backpacks, shoes, coats, and sports gear organized, making busy mornings a little less hectic, while ample storage throughout the home means there's a place for everything. When the weather warms up, you'll love spending time outside on the expansive deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. Whether you're grilling with friends, enjoying dinner, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee, it's a space you'll find yourself using all season long. Thoughtful updates include dual-zoned HVAC, a chimney liner, a tear-off roof replaced in 2017, and a two-car garage. This is a home that's as comfortable as it is convenient, offering the space, location, and lifestyle that make River Forest such a special place to call home.
