Beautifully renovated Craftsman brick bungalow in the heart of Riverside, offering the perfect combination of classic character, modern updates, and an exceptional amount of living space. Ideally located within walking distance of the Metra train, downtown Riverside, schools, and parks. The bright and open first floor features a light-filled living room with dramatic vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. The dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a newer Bosch dishwasher. A convenient mudroom area, two generously sized bedrooms, and a full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features two custom-organized walk-in closets. An updated bath and an additional bedroom completes the second level. The massive finished basement provides even more living space with a large recreation room, fifth bedroom, and full bath with a newly tiled shower. The outdoor space is equally impressive.
