    What's special

    Style, location and condition combine to make this understated Victorian the one! This light and bright 3 story checks all the boxes! Need work-at-home space? This house offers two options for a home office including a beautiful library so you can be ready for a video call on day one. Want great space to relax outside? How about a pretty-as-a-picture wide and deep front porch with 2 seating areas to enjoy the neighborhood and streetscape. Or a lovely patio off the family room out back to relax in the landscaped backyard. This home features 4 fireplaces starting with the one in the foyer! The delightful Living Room also features a fireplace and is wide open to the big Dining Room, perfect for all your holiday gatherings. The designer kitchen features high-end appliances, excellent counter space, including an island that seats 4 and a butler's pantry, making meal preparations a breeze. The extra-large family room, with views of the yard, a wall of storage and custom built-ins around the gas fireplace is surprisingly cozy for its size and the music room that overlooks the family room amplifies the opportunity for customization. There is also a mudroom off the kitchen to keep all the daily clutter at bay. Up on the 2nd floor find the Zen like Primary suite which spans the entire front of the house and features a cozy sitting area with fireplace, walk-in-closet with custom organizers and spa like en-suite bath with luxurious soaking tub and extra-large shower. 3 additional good-sized bedrooms and oversized hall bath grace the 2nd floor...but wait! There's more. Find a sweet screened porch and a large deck on this floor too. Both areas provide surprisingly delightful get-away-space. Speaking of get-away-space, how about a fully finished 3rd floor! This treetop retreat is amazing guest space with 3 large bedrooms and an expansive full hall bath. Back downstairs into the finished basement you will find a laundry room, playroom, full bath, additional office space and great storage. Outside there is a side drive leading to a 2-car garage. This outstanding home is in the very Heart of River Forest for that much sought-after walkability to the Blue-Ribbon Schools. Quick walk to either River Forest or Oak Park Metra or Oak Park Green Line. Shopping, parks, library or theater. This home is truly the one you've been looking for!
