This central River Forest home on the stately 700 block of Jackson Avenue sits on an extra wide lot overlooking Centennial Park. You'll be right in the mix with Metra, CTA, downtown Oak Park, the River Forest Tennis Club and award-winning D90 schools less than a handful of blocks from your door! The owners have expanded and updated their home, creating a consistently crisp, clean aesthetic; the sophisticated design style and attention to detail is evident from top to bottom. A grand, light-filled living room is the show stopper with a wall of windows, arched fireplace and French doors leading to the expansive back yard. Elegance and practicality live side-by-side with a lovely formal dining room, black and white island kitchen and adjacent family room and mud room. You are welcomed into the star of the second floor by gorgeous leaded glass French doors dating from the 1920s. Pretty and practical, the primary suite's dressing room features auxiliary full-size laundry, built-in storage and a window seat for quiet moments. A beautiful white en suite bath and king-sized bedroom complete this private space, which was part of the 3-level addition. There are 3 more generously-sized bedrooms and another full bath on this floor, plenty of room for immediate and extended family. Moving back downstairs, a wide open stairway leads you from the mud room to the finished basement. These spaces are yours to use as you wish; the owners have created a second family/game room and a home gym/studio with a big, beautiful full bath attached. The main laundry room is found here, along with a tool room and multiple storage rooms, and a second interior stairway that brings you back home to the foyer and tucked-away main floor powder room. There's so much to love in this home - from the amazing location, to the welcoming front screen-in porch, to the huge back yard with open space and an intimate brick-surrounded dining area. You'll want to see this one in person!
