A classic brick bungalow in the heart of River Forest. Situated on a deep 50 x 201 foot lot, this lovingly maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates offering charm, comfort, and room to grow. Located on one of River Forest's highly sought-after blocks-where neighbors often stay for 30+ years-this home is surrounded by a canopy of old-growth oak and elm trees, adding to the sense of history and community. Inside, you'll find 1,422 square feet of light-filled living space. The elegant living room features a newly installed high-efficiency wood-burning fireplace with stainless steel liner and flue-great for cozy evenings. The formal dining room situated for entertaining, while the inviting family room overlooks a peaceful backyard retreat framed by a mature Japanese yew tree-a seasonal haven for nesting birds. The updated kitchen offers cherry cabinetry, a new Cafe double induction oven with convection and air-fry features, a vented hood, and Bosch dishwasher - offering both function and style. Throughout the home, hardwood floors, crystal knobs, and vintage chandeliers provide timeless appeal. A full basement with second full bath adds flexibility-great for a home office, gym, or media room. Step outside to a raised back deck overlooking the expansive landscaped yard and private driveway-a great setting for outdoor dining or relaxing in the sun. The 2-car garage includes working electrical outlets and water service for added convenience and utility. Recent upgrades include a new copper water service (2025), an ERV fresh air system for improved indoor air quality, and updated electrical outlets and ceiling fans. Located just blocks from top-rated schools, parks, Metra, grocery stores, the public library, and vibrant downtown River Forest, this home offers an unbeatable location with room to live, expand, or build anew. Sold AS IS, this is a rare opportunity to own a well-maintained home on a generously sized lot in one of River Forest's most desirable neighborhoods.
