Property Description

Welcome to River Woods, one of Naperville's most desirable established communities, known for mature trees, a picturesque setting, and convenient access to parks, schools, shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. Set on an east-facing lot with a west-facing backyard, this customized home impresses with a brick-front exterior, brick paver driveway and walkway, professional landscaping, outdoor lighting, irrigation and curb appeal. The backyard is truly special, backing to park district green space and thoughtfully landscaped to create a private, Better Homes and Gardens-worthy retreat. Designed for relaxing and entertaining, the outdoor space features extensive hardscaping, including a newly installed dry creek, stone walkway, and plantings; an in-ground Blue Haven fiberglass pool with stamped concrete surround and classic aluminum fencing designed to evoke high-end wrought iron; a lighted gazebo; oversized patio and pool decking; built-in speakers; and mature trees for privacy. Inside, a two-story entry welcomes you into a home filled with curated details, trim work, hardwood flooring, plantation shutters, and custom cabinetry. To the right, a private den or office with double folding doors can be closed off when needed. To the left, the living room opens to the formal dining room, with double sliding doors providing the option to separate the spaces for privacy or function.

Custom cabinetry panels conceal the Sub-Zero refrigerator and ASKO dishwasher, creating a seamless, refined design.

A laundry and mudroom with utility closet sits off the eating area, while the clean garage adds everyday function.
