Agent Description

Move right in to this beautifully updated Northbrook home that truly lives larger than it appears with 2270 sq ft of usable living space! This expanded brick ranch combines timeless charm with modern finishes, offering 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a spacious family room addition, and a fully remodeled lower level in a prime Northbrook location.

The home opens to a bright living/kitchen space with refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, wainscoting accent walls and an updated light fixture. The NEW KITCHEN is a standout- featuring high end quartzite countertops, a center island for casual seating, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting & perfect window overlooking the manicured backyard.

The expansive family room in the back of the home is perfect for entertaining with its beamed ceiling, wood burning fireplace, built-in bar with sink & beverage fridge, sleek cabinetry for storage, and a stunning wall of windows overlooking the backyard.

All three bedrooms are nicely sized and feature hardwood floors. The primary bedroom was reimagined with 2 separate closets outfitted with custom Elfa organizers. The updated main-level bath showcases a new vanity and mirror, quartz countertop and new flooring.

The lower level adds tremendous flexibility with a finished recreation space perfect for a playroom, media room, or additional family living area, a convenient powder room, a separate dedicated office room, and an unfinished area that provides storage & laundry room.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard has been thoughtfully reimagined with two separate patio spaces, creating multiple areas for dining, entertaining, and relaxing. Complete with an attached 1 car garage & attached interior shed for storage. Ideally located within walking distance to Greenbriar Elementary School, downtown Northbrook, and the Metra train station, this move-in-ready home awaits its next lucky owner.
