Description

Welcome to this classic American 4-Square in the heart of beautiful River Forest! Exquisite art-glass windows, gorgeous oak trim and a simple layout grace this space. The large formal living room with its original custom built-ins is enough space for multiple conversation areas. The large dining room with original oak and glass hutch can host your favorite holidays. The large kitchen space is a blank slate ready for your design. All three bedrooms, including the large primary are located on the 2nd floor along with the house's full bath. All this sitting on a grand 50x179ft park-like lot! This home is certainly livable but requires repairs and is being sold in completely "as-is" condition in accordance with the current Multi-Board 8.0 contract.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 17, 2025
