Property description
Live in your own personal French Provincial castle with everlasting limestone walls (freshly tuck-pointed and resurfaced 2021) and a totally renovated expansive interior (completed 2021)! The regal tall columns at the entrance invite you inside to the recently refinished dark hardwood floors and neutral grey walls with new white trim throughout. 4 beds, 4.5 baths and an office with three on-suite bathrooms give you plenty of space to spread out and allows everyone their own space. The kitchen with High-End Bosch appliances, quartz counters and backsplash, large waterfall island with concealed microwave flows nicely toward the family room with great light and vaulted ceilings or into the formal dining room. Just a couple of steps down from the family room, and you can choose a wine from your humidity controlled wine cellar. Step away from the action into the living room with wood burning fireplace and access to the office (West Wing). This home has separate wings and is perfect for working from home with the second master suite (East Wing) on one side and an office (West Wing) with an on-suite on the other and cool Velux skylights in both wings. The main second level has three bedrooms and two full baths, including a master suite that boasts an excessively large walk in closet and impressive master bath with double sinks and a double shower with seats, rainfall shower heads, and custom height handheld detachable sprays. Beautiful tile work in baths with Danze and Gerber plumbing fixtures and Toto toilets. Solid core shaker style doors and functional pocket doors. Three zoned heating and cooling systems for great efficiency. All new lighting. New roof (2020) with 6 inch oversized gutters and downspouts. Mostly new double hung vinyl, thermopane, Low-E windows. Great River Forest location close to schools, park and dining! Pictures are from 2021, when the renovation was completed.
