104 Forest Place

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.
