Property Description

Be prepared to be wowed by this top-to-bottom turnkey, sundrenched, fantastic River Forest bungalow! Enter into the huge, sunny, inviting sunroom and be welcomed into the massive, open first floor. Pristinely maintained with soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, bright tall windows, modern, updated lighting and fans, this space has great flow and is perfect for today's living and entertaining. Gather with your loved ones in the sunlit living area and host your largest holiday gatherings in the oversized dining area without missing any of the action from the oversized kitchen. You'll marvel at this thoughtfully-designed chef's domain boasting miles of granite countertops, loads of custom cherry cabinetry, large range, dual ovens (one electric), range hood, peninsula eating bar, large pantry closet with pull out drawers, small appliance shelves with power, and a custom built-in banquette breakfast area overlooking the deep backyard. Off the living room, tucked away behind barn doors, is a first floor bedroom that could also serve as a family room, play space or home office. The expanded, roomy, spa-like first floor bath with double sinks, an extra long tub and loads of storage is a Zen retreat and perfect for guests or family. A spacious and handy back mudroom completes this level. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to find three additional bedrooms! Up a half flight of stairs is the first large, sundrenched bedroom with windows on three sides and gorgeous hardwood floors. At the top level you'll find two additional bedrooms, plus a large sitting area. Another beautiful, spa-like bath with a walk in shower completes this level. The bight, clean, dry full basement has tall ceilings, high windows, drain tile and sump pump, a perfect wine cellar, laundry and a workshop area and is ready for your ideas if you need to add additional living space. Outside, you'll find a large deck (with a fun slide!) and a huge, deep, sunlit yard that will make any gardener thrilled. And one parking spot in back with additional parking in driveway means your guests are always welcome. This beautiful home was gutted down to the studs and completely re-envisioned and renovated in 2014. Everything was redone then - first floor opened up; new kitchen; new hardwood floors; new recessed lighting; new light fixtures; enlarged, new first floor bath; new, widened staircase; new upstairs bath; new drywall; new Pella windows; new zoned heating and cooling; new drain tile; new sump-pump; new roof; new siding; new 200A service and new electric panel; new plumbing and so much more. All this in a fantastic River Forest location that's minutes to ice cream, coffee, dining, shopping, gyms, grocery, parks, schools, Metra, and more! This is the one you've been waiting for. Nothing to do but unpack and enjoy summer in your new house! Welcome home!
