The hard part is already done. Tucked behind the gates of River Forest on nearly two acres, this home has been refreshed from the curb to the ceilings: fresh paint inside and out, newly stained and refinished hardwoods, refinished cabinetry in the kitchen and baths, new interior and exterior lighting, new plumbing fixtures, a restored front door, instant hot water in the kitchen and whole-home water filtration. Picture a Saturday here. Brunch for a crowd is easy with a Thermador gas range and double oven, a Sub-Zero plus a second full-size fridge, two dishwashers, an ice machine and two wine fridges. The afternoon belongs to the pool and hot tub, with a new heater, sand filter, accessory pump and blower already in place. When the sun goes down, the home theater takes over: eight leather seats, a screen, sound system and new projector, and all of it stays. The everyday details are handled, too. The main and basement garages both have built-in storage, cabinets and workbenches, and the main garage adds a Tesla Level 2 charger. Smart-home automation runs the lights inside and out, plus the outlets and garage doors. A full Ring security system covers the home with an HD video doorbell, 10+ exterior cameras and floodlights, and door, window, glass-break, motion and garage sensors. Beyond the driveway, River Forest offers a private golf course, clubhouse, gym, a lap pool and a second pool with a splash pad, plus tennis, pickleball, basketball, sand volleyball and even a batting cage.
