About This Home

1235 Park Avenue

Best home on the market in River Forest at this price, a must see move in ready, available now! Set on a beautifully maintained **9,050 sq. ft. lot** in highly sought-after River Forest, Illinois, this classic center-entry Dutch Colonial offers timeless architectural charm, generous living space, and exceptional pride of ownership throughout. From the stately pillared front entrance to the gracious interior proportions, this home blends historic elegance with modern comfort in one of the near-west suburbs' most admired communities. A welcoming foyer introduces a wide staircase, oversized doorways, rich hardwood flooring, and impressive **8'6" ceilings on both the first and second floors**, creating an airy and sophisticated feel from the moment you enter. The formal living room is anchored by a handsome brick fireplace and crown molding, while the front office/den provides a bright work-from-home setting with beautiful views of the front yard. The formal dining room is equally refined-perfect for entertaining and holiday gatherings. At the rear of the home, the spacious family room features a dramatic picture window overlooking the large deck and backyard, creating a wonderful connection to the outdoor living space. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with premium appliances including a **Viking 6-burner range** and **Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer**, custom black granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a sunny breakfast area with direct access to the deck-ideal for morning coffee or casual dining. A convenient first-floor powder room is located near the stairs to the lower level. The second floor offers a generously sized primary bedroom with abundant closet and storage space, a charming centered brick fireplace, and ceiling fan. Two additional spacious bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the level. A full attic with pull-down access, insulated roof, and finished flooring provides remarkable additional storage rarely found in homes of this era. The finished basement expands the home's versatility with **7' ceilings**, a fourth bedroom, full bath with shower, large laundry room with front-loading washer and dryer, excellent storage space, and a **private exterior entrance**-ideal for guests, extended living, or flexible use. Mechanical features include a whole-house humidifier, **high-efficiency furnace**, central air, and **tankless water heater**, all well maintained. Outside, the home continues to impress with a **newer roof**, low-maintenance vinyl siding, a large ground-level wood deck with built-in seating, beautifully maintained grounds, and a **lawn sprinkler system** for added convenience. The heated **2.5-car deep garage** with its own thermostat and high ceilings is a standout feature, offering exceptional utility, storage potential, and workspace flexibility. Located in a premier River Forest setting known for its **quiet tree-lined streets, classic homes, and close-knit community atmosphere**, the home also benefits from proximity to highly regarded local schools including River Forest School District 90 and Oak Park and River Forest High School, both well known for strong academics, diverse programs, and outstanding extracurricular opportunities. The area is also home to Dominican University, adding to the community's cultural and educational appeal. Residents enjoy convenient access to parks, dining, shopping, and commuter options into downtown Chicago, making River Forest one of the most desirable suburban locations in the region. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home with timeless character, generous space, and an exceptional location in one of River Forest's most sought-after neighborhoods.
