About This Home
As of October 2022This elegant mid-century four bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home offers an abundance of space for family living, while its split-level plan provides privacy and quiet zones for individual activities. Enter the home from the front walled garden into the Deco influenced entrance hall. Walk into a spacious living room looking out into the front (west) and rear (east) gardens. Custom made Marvin windows throughout the entire home replicate the design of the original steel casement windows. The generous dining room opens onto a luminous sunroom surrounded by lush outside greenery with a view of the wide, entirely private garden. Pick up a drink from the kitchen and walk a few steps down to the family/library room to entertain a book or a movie. Powder room for your guests is conveniently located next door. The master bedroom suite is located a few steps up from the entrance hall and is separate from the remaining three bedrooms and the second full bathroom, all situated on the top level of the house. The second bedroom offers an intimate deck overlooking the garden. Wonderful home for a family, just down the street from the elementary school and a short walk to Thatcher Woods, Cook County Forest Preserve.
