French Country Estate Listed On Private Riverwoods Lane

RIVERWOODS, IL — Sitting on nearly 3.5 acres on the edge of a wooded area beside the Des Plaines River, this French-style estate offers a private family setting with a feel of a home in the country. But the home still offers convenient access to downtown amenities from its location off Deerfield Road, according to its Realtor.com listing.

The two-story brick home was designed by Adolf Nilsson and built in 1988 for its current owners. It promises the "perfect mix of both formal and practical living spaces," the listing says.

Find a grand double staircase as you enter, and there's a spacious family room featuring a fireplace sitting just off the side of the kitchen.

The home's dining room, living room and library still have all original architectural details, according to the listing. Head upstairs to a second-floor landing with its own fireplace.
