Description
Welcome to 761 Vernon, where in-town living meets luxury. This stunning residence underwent a $500,000 renovation between 2020 and 2021, with conceptual interior architecture by R. Scott Javore & Associates of Glencoe and design by L.A based Suzy Graham (Bricks & Beams). Nestled in the heart of vibrant downtown Glencoe, this elegantly redesigned 5-bedroom home boasts over 3,500 square feet of above-ground living space. Upon entering, the gracious foyer leads to a spacious living room with a fireplace, adjacent to a serene sunroom offering a tranquil retreat. A large first-floor office provides ample privacy for work-from-home needs. The heart of the home features an open-concept family room, kitchen, and dining area, all overlooking a beautifully landscaped backyard and deck. The chef's kitchen is a masterpiece with custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, and a large island with breakfast bar seating. The first floor also includes a new mudroom and butler's pantry, complete with custom-built storage and cubbies. Upstairs, the primary suite is reminiscent of a luxurious hotel retreat, with access to a private balcony overlooking the lush backyard. The fifth bedroom, currently open to the primary suite via French doors, can be used as a second home office, nursery, or sitting room. The additional three second-floor bedrooms are generously sized, with two sharing a bathroom and one fully ensuite, all featuring built-out closets. An additional laundry room on the second floor adds to the home's convenience. The fully finished basement includes a large laundry room and bathroom. Outside, the beautifully landscaped lot offers a serene outdoor space, and the detached two-car garage provides convenient parking and storage, along with an additional outdoor parking pad for a third vehicle. Located within walking distance to top-rated schools and the best of downtown Glencoe, including Hometown, Guildhall, Meg's Cafe, The Grand Food Center, Foodstuffs, Writers Theatre, the beach, Friend's Park, public tennis courts, the Green Bay Trail bicycle path, Botanic Gardens, shopping, the Metra train, and more. This designer-perfected home is an ideal blend of tranquility and accessibility. Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of in-town elegance.
