Property Description
This exquisite two-story residence masterfully combines timeless elegance with modern sophistication, offering an unparalleled living experience in one of River Forest's most coveted locations. From the moment you step inside, you'll be struck by the grand scale, refined finishes, and exceptional craftsmanship. The main level showcases a chef-worthy designer kitchen, featuring custom white cabinetry, an oversized island, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances-including separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer-and a built-in water filtration system (2017). The kitchen opens seamlessly into a spacious family room adorned with custom built-ins (2017) and expansive views of the private backyard and custom deck (2021)-perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The inviting living room centers around a beautifully converted gas fireplace (2017), ideal for cozy evenings. Elegant details abound, including crown molding in the bedrooms (2020), custom millwork, and built-in cabinetry in the mudroom (2017) and basement (2020). Custom closet systems throughout (2017 & 2020), along with designer window treatments and stylish carpet runners, complete the home's polished aesthetic. Upstairs, you'll find four oversized bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite designed for relaxation and comfort. The second floor also offers a spa-inspired full bath and a thoughtfully designed laundry room. The fully finished lower level extends the home's versatility, offering a fifth bedroom, third full bathroom, custom entertainment cabinetry, and generous space for entertaining, relaxing, or hosting guests. Modern upgrades provide convenience and peace of mind: a smart thermostat (2017), security system (2017), and video doorbell (2018). Fire sprinklers installed throughout the home add an extra layer of safety and protection. Outdoor highlights include beautifully maintained landscaping (2017-2024), south fence replacement (2024), exterior paint touch-up (2023), a French drain system (2017), and stunning Pella French doors leading to the rear patio (2021). A brick paver driveway enhances the home's elegant curb appeal. Additional mechanical improvements such as a furnace fan replacement (2017) and a new main water valve (2024) ensure long-term comfort and efficiency. Every inch of this home has been meticulously curated for luxury, functionality, and style. Truly turnkey and move-in ready, this extraordinary residence is sure to exceed every expectation.
