About This Home
Located in the Stevenson High School district, this beautifully maintained and freshly painted 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial in Strathmore Grove offers space, comfort, and thoughtful updates throughout. The home features a bright, open layout with large living and dining areas and an abundance of natural light. The kitchen includes solid cherry cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a comfortable eat-in area. The family room is warm and inviting with a brick fireplace and new sliding door (2024) leading to the freshly installed backyard patio and vegetable garden. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms with excellent closet space. Recent updates include first-floor windows, sliding door, and custom treatments (2024), backyard patio (2023), water heater (2023), sump pump (2022), and fresh interior paint (2024). Previous improvements include roof, siding, soffits, and gutters-providing peace of mind for years to come. The location is truly exceptional-just a short walk to Prairie Elementary School, the Buffalo Grove Park District facilities (featuring a fitness center, amphitheater, and open park space), and the Buffalo Grove Farmers Market and BG Days events. Perfectly situated between downtown Buffalo Grove and historic Long Grove, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and seasonal festivals. Nearby Dr. Larry Reiner Park offers trails, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, and open fields, while Buffalo Creek Forest Preserve and the Metra station are just minutes away-making commuting and recreation equally convenient. This is a rare combination of updates, location, and lifestyle-all within top-rated District 96 and Stevenson High School boundaries.
