Sun-filled CORNER townhome living in a prime River Forest location with clean modern finishes throughout. Built in 2020, this all-brick 3-story residence stands out with its desirable end-unit positioning, offering extra light, privacy, and a more open feel than interior units. Thoughtfully designed with both functionality and style in mind, the home features 3 full bedrooms with the flexibility for a 4th bedroom or in-law setup on the lower level, along with 3.5 baths. The main living level is centered around an oversized, open-concept kitchen with flat-panel Italian cabinetry, a quartz island, newer stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated dining area. The space flows effortlessly to a private balcony, ideal for grilling or unwinding. Expansive windows bring in great natural light throughout, complemented by modern window treatments and well-proportioned room sizes across all levels. The primary suite offers a massive walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with dual vanities and a clean, modern design. Additional highlights include a heated attached two-car garage plus driveway parking for up to three additional vehicles, a rare and practical feature for the area. Located within the highly sought-after River Forest school district, feeding into Lincoln Elementary, Roosevelt Middle School, and Oak Park and River Forest High School, and just moments from the Metra, Keystone Paddle Courts, parks, restaurants, and both downtown Oak Park and Forest Park. Recent updates and improvements have been completed to present the home at its best, offering a fresh, move-in ready opportunity. Nearby train tracks are not active.
