Architectural presence, uncommon scale, and a lot size rarely seen in today's market - this distinguished brick residence offers a compelling opportunity in a time of limited inventory. From the stately facade and arched entry to the sun-filled living spaces framed by leaded glass windows, the home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates. Hardwood floors run throughout generously proportioned rooms designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining. The updated kitchen features warm wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, and peninsula seating, opening naturally to the first floor family room. Upstairs, 4 spacious bedrooms allow room for growth and provide excellent natural light. The primary suite includes a beautifully refreshed bath with classic tilework, glass-enclosed shower, and refined finishes - a true retreat. The finished lower level adds valuable living space, while the expansive backyard sets this property apart. With a wide, deep lot, patio area, full driveway, and two-car garage, outdoor space of this scale is increasingly difficult to find. Homes combining architectural integrity, updated baths, usable square footage, and a lot of this size rarely come available. An exceptional offering in today's market. Ideally located near neighborhood parks, schools that define River Forest living, this home offers the character, space, and location that buyers here value most.
