Property Description

Ideally located in the highly sought-after community of River Forest, this turnkey, fully renovated luxury bungalow offers 6 bedrooms and 3.1 bathrooms. Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship, high-end finishes, and contemporary style throughout. A welcoming front porch opens to a generous foyer, leading to a bright and spacious living room with an electric fireplace. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the main level, which flows seamlessly into a designer chef's kitchen featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and premium countertops. The adjacent dining area and sun-drenched sunroom, with walkout to the brand-new deck, provide ideal spaces for entertaining and everyday living. A stylish powder room completes this level. Four bedrooms are located on the upper level, including a luxurious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite bath boasting a freestanding soaking tub. Each bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with custom showers, bespoke vanities, premium finishes, and heated floors. The fully finished lower level is an entertainer's dream, complete with a bar, expansive recreation space, two bedrooms and an oversized laundry room. For added convenience, a second, stackable laundry is located on the upper level. Situated on a generous extra-wide lot, this property offers a spacious fenced backyard, a brand-new deck, and a new 2 car garage with an additional parking pad. The home features all-new mechanicals, including the water heater, roof, electrical, and plumbing systems. Unbeatable walkability and central access to the CTA Green and Blue Lines, Metra service, and nearby highways for easy commuting to downtown Chicago, O'Hare, and Midway. Just steps from Madison Street, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and an array of shops, parks, and delicious dining options. Walking distance to top-rated River Forest schools, including Lincoln Elementary and Roosevelt Middle School, both designated Exemplary by the state. Close proximity to the downtowns of River Forest, Oak Park, and Forest Park - truly at the center of it all!
