Beautifully restored and decorated, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom Victorian Farmhouse is ideally located on a quiet, tree-lined street in historic Riverside. Character abounds with a grand staircase, soaring 9' ceilings, cove moldings, and beautiful new hardwood floors. Many recent updates include a full kitchen renovation with a custom Amish island, Thermador/Bosch appliances, and plenty of storage space. Other improvements include bath renovations with a soaker tub, a new roof, new James Hardee siding with an upgraded trim package, and Amish cabinets surrounding a Valor gas fireplace in the formal dining room. The new Reme Halo UV, iWave Ionization System and Aprilaire Ultra Violet Air Purifier ensure a safe breathing environment by killing bacteria, viruses, allergans, and mold. The walk out full basement has a delightfully finished area plus great storage, while extensive perennial plantings throughout the yard create a lovely spot to enjoy the large deck. Some electrical components have been wired for a back-up generator. The generator as well as a riding lawn mower are negotiable. Located within walking distance to town, train, schools, and restaurants, this home encompasses all that the quaint village of Riverside provides for suburban Chicago living. All of this in the highly desired Riverside Elementary (96) and Riverside Brookfield High School (208) districts. Easy access to Loyola Medical Center, expressways, public transportation, and the Brookfield Zoo. A must see in a fantastic village with pride of ownership throughout. Please note this home does not share a driveway with the property directly west of it. The driveways are simply adjacent to each other as indicated by the attached survey.
