Description
This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home offers a rare combination of charm, space, and modern updates-perfectly nestled on an expansive lot with lush landscaping for privacy and multiple outdoor retreats in a prime walk to everything location. A welcoming covered front porch leads into the bright living room, featuring hardwood floors throughout, a cozy remote-start gas fireplace, overlooking the adjacent four-season sunroom filled with natural light. The separate dining room is surrounded by classic built-ins, while the light and airy kitchen opens to a screened-in porch with stairs up to the large rooftop over the garage, ideal for morning coffee or summer dining. A conveniently located powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, you'll find all four generously sized bedrooms with one offering access to its own screened-in "sleeping porch"-a perfect place to relax and unwind. These bedrooms share the hallway bath with double vanity and great storage. Ascend to the third floor with an easily accessible floored attic that offers great possibilities and is currently used as additional storage space. The fully remodeled basement includes an open recreation room, mudroom directly off the garage entrance, an exercise area, a full bathroom, a dedicated laundry room with a new washer/dryer and slop sink, and ample storage. Outside, enjoy a large, fenced-in yard, blooming with a carefully curated butterfly garden and Arborvitae, Red Buds, and seasonal Russian Sage, Milkweed, and Black-Eyed Susans. Above the garage, an impressive rooftop deck awaits-complete with composite flooring, a built-in bench, and outdoor lighting-ideal for entertaining or evening stargazing. This home is a unique blend of thoughtful updates and classic character, offering exceptional indoor and outdoor living spaces. Located right in downtown Glencoe, so close to the beach, shopping, parks, the highway and Metra, and so much more!
