Rich original woodwork, 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, beautifully preserved windows, and a cozy fireplace set the tone for warmth and authenticity throughout the home. The heart of the house is the custom Amish-built kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, honed natural stone countertops, and high-quality cabinetry by Kenrose Kitchen Kabinets of Arthur, Illinois. The thoughtful design offers ample storage, a fantastic chef's workspace, and a generous island perfect for gathering, cooking, and everyday living. With three bedrooms upstairs and a versatile fourth bedroom or home office on the main level, the layout offers flexibility for today's lifestyle, complemented by three full baths for comfort and convenience. Enjoy your morning coffee on the inviting front porch, host with ease or unwind in the finished basement, and take pride in the professionally landscaped yard-complete with two water features that will remain with the home, adding both charm and curb appeal. A 1.5-car garage with an attached gardener's shed, along with an extended driveway accommodating multiple vehicles, offers everyday practicality. Ideally situated in a highly walkable location, the home provides access to one of Riverside's most beloved green spaces. Just a short stroll away, you'll find a peaceful pocket park, a sun-filled meadow, and miles of scenic, shaded trails along the Des Plaines River-perfect for morning walks, afternoon adventures, or simply enjoying nature. Located just nine miles west of downtown Chicago, the historic Village of Riverside offers a rare blend of small-town charm and effortless urban access. Designed in the 1860s by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, the visionary behind New York's Central Park, Riverside was one of the nation's first planned suburban communities and remains a masterpiece of thoughtful design and natural beauty. Characterized by its curving streets, expansive parkways, and abundant green space, Riverside feels worlds away from the city grid, yet remains easily accessible via Metra, major expressways, and nearby O'Hare and Midway airports. The village's picturesque setting along the Des Plaines River features mature trees, walking paths, and architecturally significant homes, including works by noted architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Howard Van Doren Shaw. With its charming downtown, top-rated schools, and strong sense of community, Riverside offers a truly timeless lifestyle-where history, nature, and neighborhood pride come together just minutes from Chicago's vibrant city center.
