About This Home

Distinctive. Gracious. Classic. Ideally located on nearly a half-acre and a short walk from downtown Glencoe, schools, beach, Metra train and Skokie Country Club. This one-of-a-kind home got a head-to toe renovation completed in 2011. Meticulously-maintained, it has the appeal of a well-crafted historic house with today's amenities. From the charming entry vestibule and gracious foyer, enjoy the quality hardwood floors throughout 1st floor. Cook's kitchen w/high-end appliances, custom cabinetry and large island w/prep sink opens to a sun-filled breakfast room. Dining room and family room offer entertaining areas galore. DR easily accommodates 20. Expansive FR is outfitted w/a FP, walnut trim, 2 sets of walnut French doors, bay windows and cozy window seating. Relax in your library, complete with built-in wood bookcases and FP, or head into the sunroom/office and watch the sunset from the 10 side-by-side windows and wraparound bench seating. The mudroom has a full bath, pantry, closet, washer/dryer/refrigerator and attached to garage. 2nd floor primary suite w/2 walk-in closets plus all the amenities you'd expect in a high-end home. 3 bedrooms w/large closets, 2 full baths, washer/dryer and linen closet complete the 2nd floor. Third floor has 2 bedrooms w/shared bath. The lower-level includes a guest room w/full bath, huge rec room w/FP and utility room that features a workspace. Private driveway behind the house accommodates parking for guests and leads to oversize 3-car attached garage. Professionally-designed landscape includes sprinkler system; fenced yard; custom bluestone patio; gas grill; charming vine-covered wood potting shed; 2 planting beds. Tall grasses and seasonal flowers bring this yard to life from spring through late fall.
