Property Description

Built in 1898 and owned by the same family for 60 years, this Victorian blends vintage charm with today's modern amenities. Set on a beautiful, oversized lot close to schools, parks and transportation, this is a prime River Forest location. A major 2 story addition by the highly respected Oak Design & Construction in 2020 nearly doubled the size of the house and includes a kitchen/family room, mud room, 2nd floor primary suite and 2 1/2 baths. The strong curb appeal is enhanced by the well chosen color palette, maintenance free siding, all new replacement windows, professional landscaping, new concrete driveway and walkways and new 2 1/2 car garage with electric charger and stairs to 2nd level loft area. From the inviting front porch you enter the foyer that leads to the very large living room with a wood burning fireplace and the formal dining room. Both rooms have original bulls eye woodwork, hardwood floors, high ceilings and abundant natural light. The open concept kitchen/family room features quartz counters, custom cabinets, island with breakfast bar, banquet table seating, built-in bookcases and desk. A new powder room and mudroom that leads to the private back patio complete the 1st level.The 2nd floor offers a lovely new primary bedroom with ensuite spa-like bath, a large laundry room and walk-in closet.There are 3 additional bedrooms with generous closet space and a 2nd fully remodeled bath. The full basement has a 2nd laundry area and great storage space. There is a new roof, hot water heater and zoned heating/AC. A full list of upgrades and improvements can be found under additional information, but a new boiler, new chimney liner & fan, basement drain tiles and additional copper piping to hot water heater were just completed in the Summer of 2024. This home is a gem and is ready for new owners!
