Description
Scandinavian Farmhouse Perfection in the Heart of Mount Prospect's Most Coveted School District Welcome home to 519 N Forest Avenue - a completely reimagined ranch that feels like it belongs in a design magazine. Thoughtfully gut-rehabbed from top to bottom with city permits approved and passed, this stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends the warmth of Scandinavian design with the timeless charm of modern farmhouse living - and every detail was done right. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings in the open-concept living and kitchen area that immediately set the tone. The chef's kitchen is a showstopper: two-tone slim shaker cabinetry, waterfall quartz countertops, and designer fixtures that make everyday living feel elevated. The layout flows effortlessly for entertaining or unwinding after a long day. The home's upgrades go far beyond aesthetics. Brand new bathroom updates, a new electrical panel and service, all-new windows and doors, and a brand new roof mean you're not just buying a beautiful home - you're buying peace of mind. Outside, the transformation continues with new siding, a freshly poured concrete stoop for garage, walkway, and garage pad, plus a brand new asphalt driveway that makes an immediate impression at the curb. The expansive finished basement nearly doubles your living space, offering a versatile home office, recreation area, and room to grow - perfect for remote work, a playroom, or a private retreat. A 2-car detached garage rounds out everything a family needs. Location? Unmatched. You are literally steps across the street from award-winning Prospect High School (District 214), one of the top-ranked high schools in Illinois. Add in highly regarded Fairview Elementary and Lincoln Middle School (both District 57), and you have a trifecta of exceptional education from kindergarten through graduation. Minutes from Randhurst Village for premier dining, shopping, and entertainment. Easy access to I-90 and O'Hare. Tree-lined streets, a welcoming neighborhood, and a home that has been redone with love and intention.
