MLS# 12104503 Riverside, IL 60546

Welcome to this understated and charming family home that is larger than it appears to be from the colorful curb appeal. There is a 2-story addition not seen from the front of the home. This stately brick home is on a beautiful block of pristinely manicured homes, is walkable to the grammar school, and has loads of potential to be transformed into your "forever dream home" with some genuine artistic talent! The living room's focal wall is a fireplace that once heated the 1st floor all by itself! Rich history in this home. The owners are very proud of their lawn. Be amazed every day by the extremely deep enchanted storybook backyard that feels like you are in your own private park and green gardens! Furnish the wooden deck, invite some friends and enjoy this summertime! Notice and appreciate the historic features such as the finely crafted wood paneling, exposed vintage oak flooring you do not get in most new houses (in most rooms). Unfinished flooring in the family room and master bedroom. 2nd floor full bathroom has a shower stall, no bathtub, very popular these days! Powder room on the first floor just off the side door to the deck. Check out the surprising amount of closet space throughout both floors! And still a full basement for more finishable living space and a sub-level basement for storage galore! Please know that his home was lovingly occupied for a long time by the owners who shared many years of gatherings with friends, families, holidays, BBQ's and so on. With your innovative ideas, this can be your own sanctuary.
