About the Listing 26537 - 221067
A Rare Architectural Treasure on the Des Plaines River. Welcome to 220 Maplewood, a residence of timeless elegance and extraordinary pedigree. Designed by celebrated architect Charles E. Joern and built in 1938, this exquisite home stands proudly on one of Riverside's premier streets. With only three owners in its history, the property has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, preserving its architectural integrity while offering modern comfort and refined living. Set on an expansive lot with 100 feet of frontage along the Des Plaines River, the home enjoys a natural backdrop that is both breathtaking and uniquely private. The river and adjoining forest preserve create the feeling of an extended backyard-an extraordinary level of seclusion and tranquility rarely found in the suburbs. Every room in the home is graced with stunning, ever-changing views of the water, mature trees, and wildlife. The landscape is a showpiece in itself. A rich collection of Maple, Ginkgo, Oak, Elm, and Burning Bush trees envelops the property, offering vibrant color in the fall and lush greenery throughout the spring and summer. This harmony of architecture and nature truly elevates the living experience. Inside, the craftsmanship is unmistakable. A slate roof fastened with copper nails, paired with copper gutters and downspouts, speaks to the enduring quality of the home's construction. The living room features French limestone flooring and a gas log fireplace, setting the tone for warm gatherings and sophisticated entertaining. The adjoining dining room offers a gracious setting for hosting. The kitchen blends elegance with practical design, offering solid oak cabinetry, slide-out drawers, a lazy Susan, built-in spice caddy, and premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and Bosch dishwasher. Upstairs, soft wool carpeting adds warmth underfoot, while the generously sized bedrooms provide excellent closet space, including two cedar closets and a cedar linen cabinet. Modern amenities, including a Carrier Infinity heating and cooling system and Pella Architectural Series casement windows and storm doors, ensure comfort and efficiency year-round. For outdoor enjoyment, the property offers private stairs and a boat ramp that provide effortless access to the river-perfect for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, or simply appreciating the serene beauty of the setting in every season. 220 Maplewood is more than a home-it is a sanctuary of history, quality, and natural beauty. A truly exceptional offering in one of Riverside's most desirable locations.
