This Greystone Tudor, orignially the Hugo Reich residence (a local builder), is quintessential Riverside, bursting with historical charm. Located in a prime location near the elementary school and parks, the house sits back off the street with fantastic curb appeal and circular drive. Inside, it features wonderful original woodwork and fixtures, french doors and arched doorways. The spacious first floor features an open floor plan filled with natural light that brings the sunshine through the beautiful and large windows. The living and dining room are anchored by a unique angled stone fireplace and lead to a lovely den and sitting room. The foyer leads into a renovated kitchen with high end appliances, large eating space that looks out a wall of windows to the backyard and a large updated powder room. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and a classic renovated full bath. The top floor has a bonus room that can be used as a 4th bedroom, family room or office space. There is additional living space in the walk out basement that includes a rec room with original bar and woodwork as well as tons of space for storage and woodworking and laundry. The low maintenance yard is fully fenced and private with a deck and fun tree house for the kids. The house has been well maintained and has a newer water heater and both boiler and heat/AC from Mitsubishi split units. Riverside is a historic landmark, designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted. It is a family and commuter's dream with top ranked schools K-12 and located on the Burlington Northern Metra train line and is a quick trip to the city. You won't find a better place to live!
