697 riford road

Bigger than it looks! This charming Tudor Cottage offers four bedrooms, two and a half baths and a walk out lower level/basement. On the main floor, you'll find a great open floor plan that runs along the back of the house that seamlessly blends the kitchen with the family room. As you enter 697 Riford from the herringbone styled front brick walk, the charm of this vintage home is evident as you are greeted by a nice sized living room, a side staircase and a cozy dining room. Straight ahead is a hall towards the back of the house where you'll find yourself in a bright, smartly planned cook's kitchen that that is open to the family room. Built in cabinetry under the kitchen peninsula offers a spot for your TV so it doesn't dominate the room and storage space for games, books and what not. The large family room can be arranged for comfy seating in front of the TV and offers a little nook for a small table for casual meals, a round of cards or a board game. Everyday you'll be treated to beautiful changing views of Perry's Pond and Churchill Woods Forest Preserve from the expansive windows along the back of the house from every level. Great updates abound with the new kitchen, master bath and second floor hall bath all completed within the past three years. Though carpeted, wood floors are under the living room, on the stairs and the two front bedrooms.
