About This Home

Step into the timeless charm of this 3BR/2.5BA storybook farmhouse nestled in the heart of Glencoe. Character abounds in this truly adorable home, where sun-filled rooms, hardwood floors, and lovely architectural details create warmth at every turn. Freshly painted inside and out, it feels crisp, bright, and ready to welcome you home. The spacious living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a wall of custom built-ins, offering a welcoming focal point along with ample room for both a comfortable seating area and office space. A beautiful arched opening welcomes you into the separate dining room, perfect for an elegant dinner party or cozy meals at home. The updated kitchen features generous counter space and storage with a sunny view outside. Multiple light-filled living spaces provide exceptional flexibility, including a bright family room just off the kitchen-perfect for everyday living. A first-floor bedroom and full bath complete the main level, along with a "cute-as-a-button" mudroom that opens to the back patio. Upstairs, the primary bedroom and an additional bedroom serve as peaceful retreats, along with an updated full bath and ample closet space. The second floor also features brand-new carpeting throughout. The finished lower level offers a wonderful extension of the home's living space. Thoughtfully designed for versatility, it's ideal as a playroom, media room, fitness area, or additional hangout space. Whether hosting movie nights, setting up a homework zone, or creating a private retreat for guests, this lower level adds valuable square footage and everyday functionality to an already fabulous home. This special home offers comfort, functionality, and undeniable charm-all in an A++ location just blocks from downtown Glencoe, top-rated schools, the Metra, boutique shopping, dining, and the lake. A rare opportunity to own a picture-perfect farmhouse in one of Glencoe's most desirable neighborhoods.
