* BEST & FINAL DUE SUN 3/22/26 @ 5PM * Crafted with enduring materials - brick, limestone, slate, copper, and steel beam construction - this distinguished River Forest home has been thoughtfully renovated to honor its vintage character while delivering every modern comfort. The result is a residence of rare integrity and warmth. 4 generously proportioned bedrooms occupy the entire 2nd floor, anchored by a serene primary suite complete with an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Both second-floor bathrooms were taken to the studs and reimagined with heated floors, new tile, designer lighting, and high end plumbing fixtures - all executed with impeccable sensitivity to the home's era by celebrated local designer and project manager Scully Interiors. Discover plenty of thoughtful storage throughout with 2 hall closets, a floor-to-ceiling cedar-lined closet, a dedicated entertaining closet, craft closet and even a game closet. Abundant natural light and rich hardwood floors flow through the main level, where the living room wood-burning fireplace creates a natural gathering spot in the cooler seasons. French doors on either side of the living room open to two porches that seamlessly extend the home's living space through the warmer months. The front porch, appointed with a new stone floor, limestone border, and custom awning, is an ideal summer retreat - perfect for socializing with neighbors or settling in with a good book. The rear elevated covered porch, with ample seasonal storage integrated below, overlooks a deep, private backyard. The eat-in kitchen is the crown jewel of the home: a complete gut renovation that unified the original breakfast room, butler's pantry and kitchen into one open, seamless space. Honed granite and marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous cabinetry deliver both beauty and function - equally suited for everyday cooking and effortless entertaining. Every detail reflects Scully Interiors' signature approach: elevated design in full dialogue with the home's 1942 heritage. If you want to switch to outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxing, you can enjoy a beautiful gathering on the large paver patio. The lower level was fully transformed into several inviting finished spaces, another amazing Scully Interiors' project. The 21 x 21 family room is as cozy as it is versatile - custom full-wall cabinetry, a wood-burning fireplace, and dedicated space for TV, music, and a craft area with its own craft closet make this a true destination floor. A separate laundry room with washer, dryer, utility sink, and spare refrigerator offers exceptional everyday convenience, while a dedicated storage room and utility room round out the lower level. Electrical, plumbing, and lighting systems have all been updated throughout. Nestled in the middle of a stunning block where neighbors share open backyards and block parties are a beloved tradition, this home offers the very best of River Forest community living. Walk to top-rated River Forest schools and parks. Easy access to both O'Hare and Midway airports. Minutes to downtown Chicago and the broader suburbs - you are genuinely at the center of it all.
