Property description
The street of dreams delivers! 550 Keystone sits back on a 234 ft deep lot, welcoming everyone with fantastic curb appeal and an irresistible front porch complete with swing. In 2006, Coffman & Wicklow did an extensive renovation and the improvements never stopped. Recently painted exterior, newer AC and furnaces, 28 new windows, new washer and dryer, new backyard fencing, new electric gate and so much more. There are vintage details throughout seen in the moldings, trim, doors, glass knobs, transom windows, built-ins and hardwood floors perfectly blending with modern updates and amenities. The 1st floor has a private office with custom built-ins, a large living room with a cozy fireplace nook, a ginormous dining room, proper butler's pantry, breakfast room, eat-in kitchen and a mudroom with custom built-ins. On the 2nd floor, the primary suite has a tandem sitting room, walk-in closet and fabulous marble bathroom. Bedroom 2 has an ensuite bathroom and Bedrooms 3 & 4 have the hall bathroom. The 3rd floor is such a surprise! Home to bedrooms 5 and 6, connected to a large double sink bathroom and outside of a large family room. The layout is really ideal for all ages, with plenty of rooms for everyone. The basement has a few bonus spaces, like the exercise room with mirrors, shelving, TV connections and generous ceiling height and the rec room ready for game night or movie night. The landscaping has been professionally done and includes stone walkways and patios, lighting and an in-ground sprinkler system. The backyard is fully fenced in and there is an electronic gate leading to the 2.5 car garage. Enjoy small town living just outside of downtown Chicago! Easy walk to the Metra, paddle tennis, Keystone Park, top rated Lincoln Elementary + Roosevelt Middle schools and the wonderful River Forest Library.
