Description
This is the one! Sitting on a 50 x 219 Lot, this home has been beautifully renovated in 2018 and is on one of the prettiest streets in River Forest.

Designed by Walden Interiors, no detail is left untouched. Upon entry the staircase captures your attention, leading you into a large foyer featuring a mud room and a tastefully designed powder bath. The living room is a classic beauty boasting original restored 8 foot pocket sliding doors, decorative wood burning fire place with black soapstone surround and an additional 3 season sunroom.
