About This Home

As of October 2024

The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon called this house the "Skinny House". Better known around here as the ICONIC "PIE HOUSE"! Literally it is shaped like a piece of PIE! This 2 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home feels much larger than it appears. The 2nd floor host a large bedroom, full bath and Laundry area. The Basement can be used as 2nd bedroom or office as it has a closet and full bath. The creative design has the powder room on the 1st floor in the narrow end of the home and the walk in closet on the 2nd floor. You'll be amazed at how open and spacious the living, dining and kitchen areas feel. There is a Foyer area and 2 hall closets on the main level: one at the front door and one at the back door. The 9 foot ceilings and many windows make the space feel larger and brighter. The 1600 square feet of living space includes a fully finished basement with great ceiling height. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and room for an island. Professionally landscaped front and side yards. Paver brick walkway and driveway. Exterior parking for 4 cars on the parking pad. Convenient location close to downtown Deerfield including shops, restaurants, Whole Foods, the Metra train station, parks and more. Roof and Water Heater were replaced in 2013. Dishwasher, Washer and Dryer were replaced in 2018. Sump Pump/Battery, Furnace and A/C were replaced in 2019. Refrigerator, freezer and Microwave were replaced in 2022
