About 25 Ashland Ave
Be prepared to be wowed by this surprisingly large, sundrenched, move-in ready, charming farmhouse that offers loads of space and a ton of upgrades! From the vast, inviting front porch, perfect for enjoying the best of Chicago spring, summer and fall, step into a spacious foyer with beautiful tile floor and two generous coat closets. Gather with loved ones in the massive living room with beautiful hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, large bright windows, including a front picture window, and plenty of space for multiple conversation areas. Host your holiday gatherings in the adjoining formal dining room with south facing bay windows that make this room sunny year round. The home boasts a three story addition (circa 2010) in the back, that offers a fantastic open concept kitchen, a family room and a dining area. Cooking your gourmet meals is a delight in the gorgeous chef's kitchen (2022) showcasing miles of quartz countertops, including a generous eat-at island, loads of quality cabinetry, a huge white porcelain farm sink, beautiful tile backsplash, massive refrigerator with full side by side refrigerator and freezer, large range with hood, a huge walk-in pantry, and quality lighting and finishes; and the bay window offers a charming place for an eat-in breakfast table. The adjoining family room is perfect for enjoying game or movie night, and has plenty of space for an additional dining area too with the huge French doors and windows that drench this area with light and lead to a large deck. A first floor full bath (redone in 2022) and bedroom (currently used as an office) round out this level. When you're ready to retire, head upstairs to find five bedrooms! The primary ensuite is your oasis and can easily fit a king size bed with additional space for a sitting area, and the large organized walk-in closet is a dream. The massive en-suite bath (updated in 2022) has new flooring, vanity and lighting and boasts a huge soaking tub with shower, dual vanities, and a separate water closet. Four more fantastic, bright bedrooms on this level, all with great closets; plus another full bath (updated in 2022) with new tile, vanity and a Victorian-style soaking tub complete on this level. The high, dry, bright, lower level (partially finished in 2023) offers even more space! The oversized room (currently set up as a guest room) with a large egress window can be a second family room, office, exercise area or all three; and the adorable laundry room with the sitting area will make even that chore a breeze. The remaining huge unfinished basement space is great for storage and ready for your vision if you need even more space and the sump pump (2023) offers peace of mind! Al-fresco, everyday living and entertaining is a dream with the large deck (2016) and fully fenced (2016) deep yard - prefect for warm weather BBQs and play dates. The 2-car garage (circa 2014) with rare alley access can easily house all your toys and the adjoining parking pad provides additional space for guests. All this in a fantastic River Forest location, on a friendly block that's close to all the fun and excitement of Madison Street - dining, shopping, coffee, ice cream, public transportation, expressways and to parks, schools, forest preserve, and so much more! This is the gem you've been waiting for--nothing to do but unpack, move in, and enjoy. Welcome home!
