Property Description
Set within a discreet neighborhood known for its multiple access points and ease of movement, this block-constructed home has been tastefully and comprehensively renovated with an emphasis on comfort, cohesion, and quiet luxury. An open, flowing floor plan anchors the home, where the living, dining, and kitchen spaces connect seamlessly—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features a four-seat breakfast bar that invites casual gatherings, while the living room enjoys peaceful sunset views, adding a soft, natural close to each day.
The open-concept layout includes three inviting bedrooms and two beautifully updated baths, complemented by luxury vinyl flooring and soft, contemporary finishes throughout. The kitchen is both striking and highly functional, appointed with Carrera marble–style quartz countertops and a full quartz backsplash, premium Café appliances, and a sought-after two-drawer dishwasher. Soft-close cabinetry, pull-out pantry shelving, and a spacious indoor laundry room reflect the home's attention to detail and livability.
Architectural upgrades include shaker-style interior doors with new hardware, magnetic door stops, and carefully placed recessed lighting that enhances flow and ambiance. Significant capital improvements provide confidence and peace of mind, including a new roof (2022), hurricane-rated impact windows (2024), updated interior and exterior lighting, and two newly enclosed garages (2025). The home was fully replumbed in 2006.
Outdoors, a private patio and fully fenced backyard offer ample space to create a custom pool or serene garden retreat. River Forest's optional civic association maintains the neighborhood park, pond, entrance, and access to Phillippi Creek —an understated yet valuable amenity.
A home that feels complete, considered, and quietly exceptional—ready to welcome you home.
