About This Home

This exceptional, fully updated home blends timeless elegance with everyday comfort. Situated on a full acre along one of Northfield's most sought-after streets, it offers privacy, tranquility, and a strong sense of community. Sidewalks and paths connect the neighborhood, making it easy to walk to nearby schools, Park District playing fields, Community Center and downtown. Inside, the home features an ideal layout where formal and casual living spaces flow seamlessly. Expansive windows flood every room with natural light, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere year-round. The formal living room opens to an elegant piano room with a custom-paneled fireplace and a fully equipped wet bar. A spacious dining room is perfect for hosting large family gatherings and offers clear views of the gardens and a beautifully designed 700+ bottle wine cellar. At the heart of the home is a chef's dream kitchen with an oversized center island, built-in breakfast/coffee bar, second prep sink, and pantry. The kitchen opens into a sun-filled family room with custom built-ins and fireplace, as well as a bright breakfast room with floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceiling. A side hallway off the kitchen includes a second powder room, practical mudroom, back staircase, and access to the attached, heated three-car garage. Throughout the main floor, radiant heated hardwood floors provide year-round comfort. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a sitting room, private balcony, generous walk-in closet, and separate home office. The primary bath includes a steam shower, radiant heat floor, dual sinks, and custom cabinets. Four additional bedrooms plus three additional renovated baths can also be found on the second floor. A separate tree-top level office (potential sixth bedroom) offers additional flexibility. The upstairs also features a large recreation room accessed by the back stairs - an ideal hangout space for kids and/or work out area with vaulted ceilings, built-in storage, wet bar with beverage fridge, plus a separate homework area or office nook. The outdoor spaces are just as impressive. A bluestone patio with built-in grill, beverage cooler, and gas fire pit is perfect for entertaining. A stunning screened porch overlooks the lush backyard, which offers plenty of room to add a pool, set up an ice rink, or simply enjoy the beautifully landscaped grounds. Every detail of this home has been carefully maintained, making it truly move-in ready.
