Property Description

Prepare to be captivated by this stunning River Forest bungalow, where classic charm meets a high-end, modern aesthetic. Every inch of 138 Ashland has been impeccably curated, offering a seamless open-concept layout that feels both sophisticated and incredibly welcoming. The heart of the home is the gorgeous kitchen, which received a full high-end remodel in 2021 along with Miele appliances, Liebherr refrigerator, Best hood, Health ceramic tiles, reverse osmosis water system and updated first-floor lighting, creating a bright and airy space designed for those who love to cook and entertain. The main level features two spacious bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom (2021) complete with a sleek walk-in shower. Upstairs, the versatile second floor offers a third bedroom and a dedicated office space, perfect for those who need a quiet retreat. The finished basement is a total game-changer and serves as a high-end, multi-functional escape. Bright and boasting a "cool vibe" you won't find elsewhere, this expansive level was elevated with a dressing room remodel and the addition of a Kohler 55-gallon soaking tub (2018), turning the space into a true spa-like experience. This level also includes a kitchenette, a cozy lounge, and a dedicated workout space. The laundry area was upgraded in 2021 with new LG front-loading machines, and the massive walk-in closet provides storage solutions that are hard to come by. Step outside to discover a backyard that feels like a private zen retreat, now fully enclosed by a new fence (2021). Whether you're hosting a summer dinner or enjoying a quiet evening under the professional landscape lighting (2017), the outdoor space is designed for pure relaxation. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that perfectly balances stylish, modern updates with a comfortable, easy-living flow. Peace of mind comes standard here with a long list of recent infrastructure improvements, including a new Owens Corning architectural shingle roof (2022), a Bosch A/C and compressor (2021), a Rheem 50-gallon hot water heater (2026), and a back-flow clean-out system (2020).
