Opportunity abounds to make this River Forest home your own. The 4 bed/2 bath fixer upper sits on a large lot, with 3-car garage (including an oh-so-cool oil-changing bay!). Natural light abounds with southern exposure, making this home especially bright. Large, sunny yard for gardening and outdoor fun. Long-term owner lived in home since 1980s. It's time now to hand over the reins. Bring your ideas as there is room to reconfigure or expand. Carpet has been removed to expose original hardwood floors on first and second levels. Vintage claw-foot tub on second floor. Original Butler's Pantry provides loads of storage and serving area off the kitchen. Gas forced air and central a/c. Located in a super friendly neighborhood and just blocks from grade school and junior high. Near Metra , Keystone Park (pickleball, platform tennis etc) and so much more. This is an "As Is" Estate Sale.
