Looks can be deceiving, this River Forest newly updated brick bungalow had an addition added several years ago. The addition included a 3rd bedroom, half bath, bonus room all on the first floor  and family room in the lower level. Vaulted ceilings with skylights and the original brick wall all add so much charm and light.  The new updates include a lovely kitchen with new cabinets, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances and new red oak flooring to match the rest of the home's floors.  Other updates include the full  bath and  1/2 bath also on the first floor. Other improvements include a new HVAC system, water heater, garage door, windows throughout,  interior doors,  exterior doors, carpet and fresh paint throughout.
