Single Family Home/House River Forest United States

A rare and exceptional offering in the heart of River Forest. This stunning 4 bedroom, 2 full and 2 half bath residence sits on an oversized corner lot and delivers the kind of charm, warmth, and timeless character that simply cannot be replicated. From the moment you arrive, the classic brick and stone facade, professional landscaping, and extraordinary curb appeal set the tone for everything that awaits inside. Step through the front door and be welcomed by original millwork, beautiful trim details, and a gracious center staircase that anchors the home’s classic architecture. The light-filled living room, bathed in natural light through updated windows, offers the perfect backdrop for both large gatherings and cozy evenings by the wood-burning fireplace. A formal dining room flows seamlessly into the eat-in kitchen and an additional flexible entertaining space, creating the ideal layout for everyday living and effortless hosting. The chef’s kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring a large eat-in island, custom cabinetry with exceptional storage, stone countertops, and stainless appliances. It opens beautifully to the family room, anchored by custom built-ins and a generous additional dining area with direct access to the first of three spectacular outdoor spaces. A first floor bedroom or flexible home office with an updated full bath and walk-in shower rounds out the main level perfectly. Upstairs, original details and beautiful millwork continue throughout, complemented by thoughtful modern updates. Three generously sized bedrooms offer abundant natural light and excellent storage. The primary suite features multiple built-out closets and an attached half bath, while the full second bath impresses with both a walk-in shower and a soaking tub. Pull-down access to a large third-level provides extraordinary additional storage. The fully redesigned lower level is a home within a home, offering a large recreation room with custom built-ins and a third fireplace, a dedicated office, a flexible workout room or potential guest suite, and exceptional ceiling height throughout. Outside, the oversized corner lot reveals a true backyard oasis, one of the finest private outdoor retreats in River Forest. Enjoy a paved patio, a raised deck with pergola and seating, a hot tub, and a lush, expansive yard that reflects years of love and intentional design. Three distinct outdoor spaces mean every season is an occasion. All of this just steps from award-winning schools, Priory Park with a brand-new park and splash pad, restaurant row, Fresh Thyme, and everything that makes River Forest one of the most coveted communities in the Chicago area. This is the one you’ve been waiting for.
