No. 1 — $1,550,000 · 1339 Forest Ave, River Forest, Illinois
The architect Jerome R. Cerny designed this French Provincial home on Forest Avenue in River Forest, which was built in 1939 and is faced in stone. It sold for $1,550,000.
The entry makes the first impression, with curved walls and a wrought-iron staircase rising from refinished hardwood floors. A gas fireplace, built-in bookcases and crown molding give the living room its character. Bay windows appear twice: once in the formal dining room and again in the kitchen, where the view is of the backyard and the counters are quartz, with a butler’s pantry close by.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms open off a broad second-floor landing. The primary suite has its own gas fireplace and a renovated bath. In all, the home has 3,415 square feet, three full baths and one half bath, and three fireplaces, the third in a finished lower-level family room with built-in shelving and a media area. Outside, a large stone patio sits in a landscaped backyard on a quarter-acre lot, and there is a two-car attached garage. Willard Elementary School and Constitution Park are two blocks away.
The home went under contract eight days after it was listed. Louise Nix of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago was the listing agent, and Brian Behan of @properties Christie’s International Real Estate represented the buyer.
