This stunning brick Georgian home in East Kenilworth is a true gem, seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern updates. With 4 bedrooms + office and an ideal layout for today's living, this home offers both elegance and practicality. Renovated in 2011, it remains in pristine condition, showcasing meticulous attention to detail at every turn. The welcoming foyer is flanked with a gracious living room, which is perfect for entertaining, while the sun drenched dining room provides the perfect setting for family meals and gatherings.

The lower level includes a sizable recreation room, ideal for endless fun-whether it's playing shuffleboard, ping pong, or enjoying movie nights. Step outside to a beautiful bluestone patio, featuring three separate seating areas and a newer gas firepit right outside the kitchen/family room, making it the perfect spot for year round gatherings. This impeccably maintained home is in a prime location, close to Sears School, New Trier High School, the train, beach, and shopping. A must see!
