About this home
A Rare Opportunity in the Heart of River Forest! Lovingly maintained and offered to the market for the first time in 40 years, this charming 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Tudor Revival sits on a spacious lot of more than one-quarter acre, with a beautiful, park-like backyard and an enviable location directly across from the entrance path to Priory Park. Rich in character and filled with possibilities, the home features three fireplaces, hardwood floors throughout the main living spaces and three of the four bedrooms, and generously proportioned rooms throughout. The large kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet storage and counter space, plus comfortable table space for casual everyday dining. The second floor features three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, with hardwood floors in all three bedrooms. The third level provides a private fourth bedroom with its own ensuite bath, along with a substantial unfinished attic space offering excellent storage and exciting potential for conversion into an additional bedroom, office, studio, or other finished living space. The lower level adds even more versatility with a large recreation room, as well as dedicated storage, utility, and laundry areas. A bonus unfinished space above the attached two-car garage presents another outstanding opportunity-ideal for a home office, guest quarters, au pair suite, or additional living space. Outside, the expansive lot and serene backyard create a rare sense of privacy and provide plenty of room for recreation, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the setting. With its classic Tudor Revival architecture, generous scale, three fireplaces, abundant storage, and multiple opportunities for expansion and customization, this is a home with both character and considerable potential. This is a truly special property ready for its next chapter-offering the opportunity to restore, update, and enhance a well-loved River Forest home while preserving the charm and architectural character that make it unique.
