Highly sought after open floor plan! Large steel-beamed brick addition with matching cedar trim created a 2nd floor primary suite and 1st floor family room. All complete with vaulted ceilings and a 2-story wall of windows overlooking the deep backyard and French doors leading out to the attached cedar deck. The kitchen was designed for those who love to cook with a walk-in pantry and tons of cabinets. It's the hub of the main floor, located in the middle of a circular flow pattern and open to the large windowed breakfast room, family room and dining room. The open den/library room off the primary bedroom overlooks the family room and enjoys views of the backyard and western skyline providing welcome sunshine during the winter months. The basement is partially finished, featuring an original brick fireplace and is home to lots of storage. Living is easy at 1234 Lathrop with the attached garage, 1st floor laundry and mudroom with its access to the garage and the cedar deck. Great location with easy walkability to Trinity High School, Willard Elementary School, Roosevelt Middle School, Grace Lutheran School, Concordia University's Early Childhood Education Center and 3 wonderful River Forest parks (Centennial, Constitution and Priory). Don't miss this great opportunity to move into a welcoming community with its city vibe and sensible suburban living space.
