Striking brick and cedar contemporary home with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, privately set back from the street on a rare 300' deep fenced lot. With over 3,300 square feet, the home has been extensively updated since 2023, including a fully redesigned and remodeled second floor, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, an oak staircase, beautifully remodeled bathrooms, fresh exterior paint, and extensive recessed lighting. The main level welcomes you with a dramatic two-story open foyer leading to a light-filled living room with vaulted beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, adjacent to a formal dining room ideal for entertaining. The separate chef's kitchen features 42" custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an eating area with access to the brick paver patio. The kitchen connects seamlessly to a warm and inviting family room centered around a gas-burning fireplace, creating an ideal space for everyday living and gatherings. A main-level fifth bedroom or private office is located near a full bath, offering a flexible option well-suited for multigenerational living, in-law arrangements, or guests. A conveniently located laundry room completes the first floor. The second level features a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a spa-like bath with dual vanity, quartz countertops, and a walk-in shower, along with an oversized walk-in closet and private balcony. Three additional spacious bedrooms are also located on this level, including an oversized room with custom built-ins currently used as a home office that overlooks the backyard, and are served by a full hall bath. The finished basement provides a large recreation or workout space along with abundant storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a fully fenced backyard framed by mature trees for privacy, featuring a brick paver patio with built-up flower beds and seating, a vegetable garden, pergola, and a large storage shed. Additional updates include a roof (2016), new AC and furnace (2023-2025), hot water heater (2020), and sump pump with battery backup (2023). Ideally located within walking distance to multiple parks and just minutes from schools and downtown Northbrook, this home is situated in award-winning District 27 and Glenbrook North High School District 225 and is truly move-in ready.
