LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! This dripping-with-charm beauty, EXPANDED and UPDATED to PERFECTION, is located right in the heart of Northbrook where everyone wants to be! Nestled on an oversized, park-like lot within the popular "Highlands" neighborhood, enjoy being only blocks to town, train, library, parks and K-5 Greenbriar elementary school--it just doesn't get any better!!! An all-white exterior with stately pillared terrace, brick walkway and front porch is the first glimpse of wonderful things to come. Step inside and see glistening hardwood flooring, generous room sizes and a fantastic open floor plan throughout. Elegant describes the sun-drenched living/family room complete with fireplace (#1 of 3!), oversized windows and pretty floor-to-ceiling built-ins which flows directly into the banquet-sized dining room, also with attractive, custom, curved built-ins and inviting fireplace #2 which will surely make any gathering feel special. Nearby the gourmet kitchen, boasting top stainless steel appliances, has both a center island as well as a breakfast bar plus a serving area with glass display cabinetry and wine rack. The roomy eating area, defined by dramatic vaulted ceilings, opens completely to the magnificent 23' x 20' skylit family room also with massive vaulted ceilings adding immense architectural interest. Friends and family will love to gather around the wood burning fireplace and have refreshments from the entertainment center with wet bar and fridge; the party can continue outdoors through lovely French doors to the pretty brick paver patio where everyone can sit back and relish the spectacular yard and have enough room to run around and play any sport imaginable. Pocket doors allow privacy to the adjacent main floor office/study/flex room with big bayed window overlooking the expansive yard and close by is a delightful 3 season sunroom with windows everywhere providing a most welcome retreat. Four spacious bedrooms are located on the second level along with a remodeled bath. The primary bedroom, with organized walk-in closet, has a luxurious bath with dual vanities, glass-enclosed shower and jacuzzi; an adjoining 2nd office could be a sitting room or another walk-in closet, if desired. Lots of fun and play can be had in the lower level expanded to include 9' ceilings; there are rec, game and play areas, a separate workroom, a full bath and storage galore. A super-sized laundry/mud room is right off the attached two car garage with convenient access to the outside. Extensive professional landscaping including flowering trees, mature bushes and colorful perennials further enhance the attractive look of this stunning home in a most popular and sought-after Northbrook location!
