This charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and convenience in one of River Forest's most sought-after neighborhoods. Thoughtfully laid out, the main level features two spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with a dining room that opens to a cozy heated sunroom-ideal for morning coffee or a relaxing read. The inviting living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for chilly evenings. The kitchen is perfectly positioned in the main flow of the home and flows nicely into the dining and sunroom area. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and an extra unfinished heated room that's perfect for a home office, playroom, or future expansion. With central air, generous closet space, a charming front porch, and both front and back entryways, this home truly checks all the boxes. Additional features include all stainless steel combination storm/screens on the main level and Pella awning windows upstairs for excellent light and airflow. Location can't be beat-just steps from Washington Commons playground, Keystone Park with tennis and pickleball courts, ball fields, and The Depot's community activities. A quick walk to the River Forest Metra train stop, plus close proximity to local restaurants, grocery stores, and highly rated elementary and middle schools make this home as practical as it is delightful.
