About This Property
Welcome to the historic 700 block of William Street, one of River
Forest's most sought-after locations. From here, you'll enjoy easy
access to Downtown Oak Park, Metra and the CTA Green Line,
neighborhood grocery stores, and 2 National Blue Ribbon schools
Lincoln Elementary School and Roosevelt Middle School. Set on
a professionally designed and landscaped 50 x 178 lot, this
beautifully updated Prairie-style home blends timeless
architectural character with extensive, thoughtful renovations.
Originally built in 1915 and lovingly owned since 2001, the home
has been carefully renovated and expanded through several projects
designed and overseen by Mark Zinni Architects. The home
offers four bedrooms and 3.1 baths, including a spacious primary
suite with a private en-suite bath. The main level features
gracious living and dining rooms filled with natural light, a
welcoming first-floor family room, and a private library/office
with custom built-ins, ideal for working from home or enjoying a
quiet retreat. With 3,264 square feet above grade, the home
provides generous living space throughout. The finished basement
adds exceptional versatility, offering a large recreation room, a
home gym area, a craft and gift-wrapping center, and a full bath -
perfect for everyday living, hobbies, and entertaining. Over
the years, the home has benefited from extensive improvements,
including a complete gut renovation with a three-level addition
along with new electrical, plumbing, windows, and mechanical
systems. The kitchen was thoughtfully expanded with a six-foot
bump-out and features custom cabinetry, a large island, and updated
appliances. Additional enhancements include a rebuilt garage,
tear-off roof, interior drain tile system with sump pump,
professional landscaping, and a custom paver patio that creates a
lovely outdoor setting for gathering and relaxing. More
recent updates include a custom kitchen pantry, new Bosch
dishwasher, new beverage refrigerator, updated air-conditioning
systems, and numerous ongoing improvements that reflect the
attentive care and pride of long-term owners. A rare
opportunity to own a beautifully maintained Prairie home that
combines architectural integrity, modern functionality, and an
exceptional central River Forest location. A full list of
improvements and updates is available.
