Property description
Exceptional renovation in the heart of River Forest presents unparalleled quality and design on a 96' x 184' lot. Originally built by Buurma Home Builders, the quality construction continues into the rehab where not a detail has been missed throughout this thoughtfully proportioned home. The gourmet kitchen offers a butler area and 10' island that flows directly into an eat-in area and spacious family room anchored by a stately stone fireplace. Windows line the perimeter of the home offering beautiful views of the backyard from the living room, dining room and sun room. The 1st level also offers a large bedroom w/full bath, separate office and mud room. The 2nd floor features a master suite w/generous closets and a spa-like bath plus 3 add'l bedrooms (one en suite) and a full hall bath. Laundry and a sunny loft/study area complete the upstairs. Wainscoting lines the walls of the finished basement w/a full bath, bonus room and storage area. Perfect house for entertaining inside & out!
