Looks can be deceiving, this River Forest newly updated brick bungalow had an addition added several years ago. The addition included a 3rd bedroom, half bath, bonus room all on the first floor and family room in the lower level. Vaulted ceilings with skylights and the original brick wall all add so much charm and light. The new updates include a lovely kitchen with new cabinets, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances and new red oak flooring to match the rest of the home's floors. Other updates include the full bath and 1/2 bath also on the first floor. Other improvements include a new HVAC system, water heater, garage door, windows throughout, interior doors, exterior doors, carpet and fresh paint throughout. There's so much to see starting with the front porch opening into the living room with lots of windows and refinished oak hardwood floors. There's also a separate dining room for entertaining family and friends. There are two other bedrooms also on floor 1 with new ceiling fans. Downstairs features a large family room, playroom, office, laundry area, one full bath with as-is shower, one half bath and 2 utility rooms. The backyard has a patio with room for plenty of furniture looking out on the nice deep lot. No need to back down the drive way. There is plenty of room to do a 3 point turn around in the yard. The yard is fenced in with a new gate for Fido! Close to Metra, CTA blue line, and 290 expressway. Super location to all the Forest Park restaurants and shopping. Award winning schools, and beautiful parks make this home and neighborhood the place to be. Be moved in by the holidays!! Successfully appealed tax assessed value for year 2024 only. NEW TAX BILL IS= 4,814.06.
