Set on a spectacular park-like lot beneath a canopy of mature trees, this classic Riverside home has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for many years and offers an exceptional opportunity to make it your own. The spacious floor plan includes 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a gracious living room filled with natural light, formal dining room with charming built-ins, and a warm, inviting family room featuring rich wood paneling, custom shelving, and a fireplace. The bright eat-in kitchen includes a sunny breakfast nook. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide plenty of space for family, guests, or a home office. Hardwood floors under the existing carpeting offer the opportunity to restore timeless character throughout the home. Major improvements have already been completed, including the roof, gutters, downspouts, windows, and electric. Additional features include a one-car attached garage, storage shed, and abundant closet space throughout. Beautifully situated on one of Riverside's picturesque tree-lined streets, this home is just moments from parks, schools, downtown Riverside, the Metra, restaurants, and all the charm of this historic Olmsted-designed community. Well maintained and full of potential, this is a rare opportunity to update a solid home in an outstanding location.
