823 Franklin Ave., River Forest, IL 60305

Seamlessly renovated to preserve classic mid-century elements while incorporating modern design, this single-story home is the epitome of easy living. 823 Franklin is situated on a 65-foot wide, park-like lot with newer patio, landscaping, and a treehouse to boot! Oversized windows line the home allowing for vast amounts of natural light and a 360-degree view of the perennials and shrubs that flower all year long. With custom cabinetry from Stan Dunham in North Carolina, the kitchen design is timeless and offers an island with seating, a built-in desk, and loads of storage. Off the kitchen are the dining and family rooms, creating an open-concept layout with sliding doors that lead to the patio. Another picturesque window is centered in the living room along with a stone fireplace and built-in shelving. Three bedrooms, a spacious full-bath, half-bath, laundry room, and mudroom off the attached garage complete the first floor. Stand tall as you walk down to the basement which runs the entire footprint of the house. Not a drop of water has been seen, allowing for true recreational space. Next to the bedroom is a full bathroom and additional storage rooms. All has been done in this magnificent home (newer electric, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, fireplace, radon remediation, sump pump w/back-up) and it has been done with pride. Simply idyllic in every way.
