Beautiful bungalow in River Forest! You will be impressed the minute you walk through the front door. This house has been lovingly renovated by the current owner and the quality shines. You are greeted by a large and open entry foyer, leading to the spacious living room and dining room. Notice the large primary bedroom on this floor, with a wall of closets PLUS a walk in closet with vanity area, followed by a private office (great space for an en suite bathroom!) This floor has a full bath, a large eat-in kitchen with granite and stainless appliances, an enclosed back porch, and an adjoining 1st floor family room/den with a staircase to the 2nd floor. Upstairs are 2 enormous bedrooms, front and back, with closets and a large full bathroom in between. The basement is ready for your renovations and houses a laundry room, large open areas, and 2 storage rooms plus bonus room which may have been used as a bedroom at one point in time. The yard is a great size (40 x 178 lot) Such a rare find to get this space at this price point in River Forest! Photos are in the works:)
