823 Jackson Avenue Welcome to 823 Jackson Boulevard- one of River Forest's most distinguished estates. Located in the heart of the coveted Estate District, this 1919 Buurma Bros-designed masterpiece blends Spanish, Prairie, and Arts & Crafts influences into a truly grand residence. Set on nearly a half-acre -one of the largest private lots in River Forest. This 6-bedroom, 5.5-bath estate is a rare offering combining architectural pedigree, privacy, and modern luxury. A stately porte-cochere and new automatic gates set the tone for the property's grandeur, leading to a wide extended driveway and a 3-car garage tucked discreetly at the rear of the home for both convenience and privacy. Inside, a grand foyer evokes the ambiance of a five-star European hotel with a custom front door featuring original leaded glass and knuckle hinges, checkerboard marble flooring, grasscloth wall covering, coffered ceilings, and a refurbished sweeping staircase. Completely reimagined through a full renovation, every inch of this home has been thoughtfully restored and elevated with high-end, timeless finishes. The chef's kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, Viking appliances - double ovens, a French door refrigerator, built-in convection microwave, Thermador induction cooktop with downdraft ventilation, and double-laminated Blue Roma quartzite counters from a single Brazilian quarry, paired with a 3" end-cut maple butcher block island. The bathrooms are adorned with sleek marble tile, retro pedestal sinks, and spa-inspired fixtures. The 2nd floor showcases 3 bedrooms + den with 3 full baths. The primary suite offers an oversized en-suite bathroom as well as new California Closets walk-in with cedar walls and ceiling. The junior primary suite with ensuite bathroom has an attached den/office overlooking the backyard. The 3rd level has 2 bedrooms and full bathroom. The expansive lower level includes a large recreation room, office/fitness space, guest bedroom, full bath, laundry room, storage. Newer home systems throughout include; plumbing, electrical, windows, rebuilt clay tile roof and flood control with back-flow prevention. The outdoor space is a private sanctuary - perfect for entertaining or unwinding - with a large grassy yard and a completely renovated saltwater pool (2024: new coping, resurfacing, winterized lines, and new mechanicals). Located on one of River Forest's most picturesque, tree-lined streets, this home offers an ideal balance of privacy and convenience - close to top-rated schools, parks, shopping, dining, and the Metra for an easy 20-minute commute to downtown Chicago. 823 Jackson is more than a home - it's a legacy estate, a luxurious retreat, and a timeless work of art.
