Bright, spacious, and designed for the way people live today, this updated split-level home with a basement offers multiple living areas, abundant natural light, and room for everyone to spread out. Soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors create an open, welcoming feel from the moment you step inside. The main level features a spacious living room, a dedicated dining area, and a large eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, counter seating, and plenty of room for everyday meals. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary bedroom suite with private deck access. Fresh paint, new ceiling fixtures, all-new solid wood doors, and new baseboard and trim throughout the upper level and hallway give the sleeping quarters a clean, polished look. Just a few steps down, the oversized family room, nearly 30 feet wide, offers the perfect space for movie nights, game days, playtime, or simply unwinding at the end of the day. A full bath and laundry room add convenience on this level. The finished basement provides even more flexible living space, whether you envision a recreation room, home office, workout area, media room, or guest retreat, along with excellent storage throughout. Outside, the large backyard offers plenty of room to entertain, garden, play, or relax, while new exterior lighting, updated garage gutters, and a 2.5-car garage with spacious driveway round out the exterior. Extensive 2024 updates throughout make settling in easy from day one, including a new industrial-grade garbage disposal, new attic access via stairs from the kitchen, fresh insulation in both attics for improved energy efficiency, and dining and living room hardwood floors sanded and restained in a beautiful whitewash finish. From everyday routines to special gatherings, this home offers comfortable living space and a prime location. Parks, shopping, dining, convenient highway access, and award-winning Northbrook schools are just minutes away.
