Move right into this decorator showcase enjoying one of THE best in-town locations Northbrook has to offer!!! Nestled on a breathaking park-like .4+ acre in the heart of the coveted Highlands, this beauty is ideally situated just blocks from town, train, school and library and has been massively expanded to perfection! Step into the gracious foyer and into the elegant living room with inviting fireplace (1 of 2) where oversized windows are everywhere; French doors, flanked by custom built-ins, open to the outdoor paradise and one of two brick patios. Dine in style in the formal dining room with attractive bay window overlooking the pretty tree-lined street; a nearby entertainment center comes in handy for party-time fun and comes complete with wet bar, beverage fridge, serving area and glass display cabinetry. Everyone will love the recent extensive expansion of the kitchen and family room which combine for a wonderful open look. The gorgeous kitchen is a gourmet cook's dream come true and centers around a super-sized double-width island with seating for everyone. Boasting color-coordinated custom cabinetry, top appliances, convenient pantry and quartz counters this kitchen has it all including seemingly unending lush views from the striking black window overlooking the enormous, fully fenced backyard. And all of this opens to the large family room addition featuring the 2nd fireplace and more beautiful views of the surrounding grounds. There are four spacious bedrooms; three are up and the fourth, with vaulted ceilings, is currently used as a main floor office. The romantic primary bedroom has a big walk-in, organized closet and a luxurious freshly remodeled bath with extra-large steam shower. The finished lower level has rec, play and bar areas as well as a generous workroom with closets and walls filled with built-in storage. The laundry is conveniently located on the main level and there is a newly remodeled full bath as well-perfect if ever adding a future outdoor pool in the wonderful backyard. The newly created mud room features convenient built-in cabinetry, double closet, beadboard coat hooks and opens to the attached two-plus car garage. Outside is an entertainer's fantasy-there are two large connecting brick paver patios easily making any party special as well as an 8-seater firepit patio perfect for making s'mores and enjoying summertime evenings. And there's plenty of room left over for additional activities-have friends and family over to play volleyball, soccer, put in a pool or an ice skating rink-you name it-FUN awaits right out your back door!!! This exceptional beauty is owned by a decorator, and it shows--the expanded floor plan has been meticulously and thoughtfully designed with comfortable yet elegant living in mind. Preliminary architectural plans are available for a 2nd addition to include a main floor primary suite which can be viewed in additional features. This pristine, updated beauty, in its prime near-everything Highlands location, has it all including one of THE nicest lots ever available right in the heart of Northbrook!!! YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
