Description
Location is everything here - just a short walk to the Metra with a quick 18-minute ride to downtown Chicago. Families will love being in the highly rated school district, with Lincoln elementary school ranked #17 in the state and located just down the street. This warm and welcoming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and location. The main level features a sun-filled living room, formal dining area and kitchen (that could easily accommodate a cafe table for eat-in), and hardwood floors throughout. The bedrooms are all on the upper level and feature hardwood floors and ceiling fans. The partially finished basement offers additional living space ideal for a playroom, TV lounge, or home office. The large utility room offers storage as well as housing the laundry and mechanicals. A rare oversized 2-car garage sits just off the alley in back, providing easy access and ample storage. Enjoy walkable access to parks, forest preserves (including a hidden trail entrance just across the street), the Thatcher Woods Nature Center, and both downtown Oak Park and Forest Park. The iconic Frank Lloyd Wright Winslow House sub-division sits right across the street - a daily reminder of River Forest's rich architectural legacy. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that truly offers it all - location, lifestyle, and livability.
