About this House

Interior photos coming soon! 726 Keystone Avenue is a classic Victorian exuding charm and timeless elegance. Situated on a professionally landscaped 50' x 230' lot in an idyllic corner of River Forest, this gracious home is just a few blocks from schools, parks, and convenient transportation options. The wide, welcoming front porch with its quintessential swing was inspired by photos of the 1891 original, and re-created by the owners in 2013. This is just one example of the smart, thoughtful updates and improvements they've made since purchasing their home in 2002. The addition of the gourmet eat-in kitchen, family room, mud room and basement billiard room enhance the overall functionality and comfort of the home. These spaces are perfect for relaxing, casual gatherings, and providing practical daily solutions. The grand foyer, living and dining rooms boasting high ceilings and original millwork are ideal for formal entertaining as well. The luxury of having 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the second floor allows for work-from-home options; one of the east-facing bedrooms has been customized for use as a dual office. Currently unfinished space, the 3rd floor attic with its soaring gabled ceiling will inspire and intrigue you; will you create a dance, yoga or art studio? A guest suite? A throwback rumpus room? Updates to the systems and infrastructure include new water main, sewer line, zoned HVAC, whole-house generator, drain tile system with dual sump pumps, Hardie Board cement siding on the house and garage, fireplace, flue and chimney repair and maintenance, new windows, copper gutters, sound system, appliances. A home history and feature sheet with additional details is available.
