Nestled in the heart of prestigious River Forest, this beautifully modernized 1910 traditional style home blends historical charm with top-of-the-line upgrades. A brand new gas and forced air HVAC system, energy efficient windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, hardwood flooring, and plush carpeting transform the shell of this home. The chef's dream kitchen is the centerpiece-a generous quartz-topped island, shake-style cabinetry, integrated sink, and premium appliances offer both elegance and function. Three fully remodeled bathrooms feature upscale fixtures and luxe finishes, all ABOVE grade. You'll love the master suite fit with a walk through closet and the main-floor laundry with drop-zone cubbies. The oversized three-car garage invites big ideas with its new epoxy floors, roof, EV charging station, and oil-changing bay. With its beautifully maintained traditional exterior, fully updated infrastructure, and thoughtful design, this home captures River Forest's architectural essence while offering every modern convenience. Located just blocks from Lincoln Elementary, Keystone Park, and the Metra. Schedule your private showing today!
