Description

Perfectly located on a pretty tree lined street. Meticulously maintained with beautiful finishes and attention to both interior and exterior. Every upgrade was carefully planned to make this home work efficiently and aesthetically. Hard-scapes like the new front entrance, the patio and walkways, shed in the fenced yard. 2 front porch areas were refined for a great outdoor experience. The main level porch provides a private escape to enjoy nature. The second level porch allows you to relax at the end of the day, or to enjoy a cup of coffee from the master bedroom access. Soft-scapes include the many mature trees, perennials and annuals. Indoors, the home is greatly upgraded including a chef's kitchen and high end appliances. The formal dining room is perfect for family dinners and an updated gas fireplace in the living room makes gathering cozy. The master bath and all other baths have been updated. Right away the lower level was finished to create a lower-level family space with a wood-burning fireplace. All throughout the house the hard woods were finished. Location is important. This home is in the heart of River Forest. Easy access to Willard School without crossing a street makes the morning school rushes a breeze. Close proximity to the area's colleges, private grade schools and high school is another added benefit. River Forest Library is nearby and easy access to both downtown Oak Park/River Forest as well as downtown Chicago are noted.The community embraces the hometown feel with many block parties and neighborly good-will. You will feel secure knowing that everything is cared for and maintained in this home: Water heater, furnace, humidifier and A/C are all within 2 years old. Roof and exterior work is newer. Electrical is upgraded to 200 amp. Lawn is professionally maintained. Sit back, enjoy a cold drink on the front porch or entertain both indoors and outdoors in this lovely home. This is what home should feel like!
