Stunning, sophisticated, sun-drenched ! This home is located on one of the most sought after quiet, tree-lined blocks in River Forest. This BEAUTY sits on an oversized lot (50x219). The home was thoughtfully renovated in 2018 by the prior owner. The moment you step up to the front porch, you will fall in love. As you peer into the foyer with marble tiles, the custom doors & tall ceiling height draw you into the home where the natural sunlight beams throughout! The living room is a classic beauty boasting original restored 8 foot pocket sliding doors, decorative fire place with black soapstone surround and an additional 3 season sunroom( currently used a playroom) The kitchen features a 48" six burner with griddle Wolf range double oven, pot-filler, custom hood, separate built-in full height refrigerator and freezer, and porcelain countertops from countertop to ceiling. The large walk-in pantry includes a second full-sized refrigerator and plenty of storage. Dining space is sun drenched and overlooks the beautifully landscaped and patio--with New custom 2 car plus garage. The second floor features 4 bedrooms. The large primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet and marble bathroom with dual sinks and walk in shower. There is also a second full bath with tub on the second level. 5th bedroom is freshly carpeted and tucked away on 3rd floor, which also includes a small plumbed quarter bath plus an extra den or closet space. The finished basement has a full bathroom, office ( currently has a bed in it) , storage room, laundry room with side by side washer and dryer, not to mention a good sized Rec room.
