Property description
This pristine 4 bedroom home in River Forest, located at 543 Forest Avenue, features a wrap-around eat-in kitchen with Viking, Bosch, and Kitchenaid appliances, flanked by a screened-in cedar porch for outdoor dining. This Craftsman-style home welcomes your guests with architecturally-significant detail - beginning with an impressive entryway on your left and a formal (or informal, your choice!) light-filled living room. There are four bedrooms upstairs and a generous family room below, with a full bathroom on each floor of the house. The home is within a block of Keystone Park, and two major forest preserves, and 2015 Blue Ribbon awardee Lincoln Elementary School. Also a very short commute away, are Whole Foods, Jewel, and sundry dining and retail shopping options. The River Forest Metra Train Station is just two blocks from the home. This residence is protected with a whole house backup generator.
