Description

Welcome to a truly exceptional residence in the heart of River Forest, where timeless elegance meets modern luxury. This fully renovated home has been thoughtfully curated with impeccable craftsmanship, elevated finishes, and a warm, sophisticated aesthetic throughout. From the moment you enter, you are greeted by an abundance of natural light that enhances the home's gracious open-concept design and by soaring vaulted ceilings on the upper level. The expansive main living spaces flow seamlessly, offering both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining on a grand scale. The kitchen is a statement of refinement, featuring high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and premium countertops, creating a space as beautiful as it is functional. Adjacent living and dining areas invite connection, while the sun-drenched sunroom provides an additional, elegant space for hosting or quiet relaxation. Each bathroom has been exquisitely designed with custom showers, bespoke counters, and luxurious finishes, including heated bathroom floors and a free standing tub that elevate daily living. The primary and secondary bedrooms offer generous proportions and serene comfort, making every space feel like a private retreat. The fully finished lower level is an entertainer's dream, complete with a stylish bar, expansive recreation space, two bedrooms and an oversized laundry room. For added convenience, a second, stackable laundry is located on the upper level - ideal for modern living. Every detail of this home reflects a commitment to quality, from the modern design elements to the inviting warmth that makes it instantly feel like home. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey luxury residence in one of the most sought-after communities, known for its architectural beauty, top-tier schools, and proximity to the city.
