About This Home

This 3 bedroom/2.1 bath home plus coach house is something special. From the entry, you are greeted by the light-filled living room with a gorgeous double-sided wood burning fireplace, with travertine hearth, maple mantel, and built in storage that complements the maple floors gracing the entire first floor. On the other side of the fireplace is a versatile room, currently used as a family room, with built-in cabinetry showcasing art and books. This room opens to the dining room and kitchen which feature stunning views of the garden. The kitchen is tucked away and delightfully connected to the dining area. It boasts a chef's 6- burner stovetop with range hood, new Refrigerator (2024), new dishwasher (2023), and plenty of cabinet and counter space including a peninsula. Meander upstairs to find 3 bedrooms, each with their own architectural charm. The first bedroom you reach contains two closets and has interesting architectural features including dormers and coved ceilings. A clever two sided bookcase room divider was designed to be removed easily. The middle bedroom has windows with east and south exposures. The second-floor hall bath has a soaking tub and unique sink. The primary suite has a gorgeous vaulted ceiling with arched window, tall windows overlooking the back and side gardens, a lovely walk-in closet, and a half bath. The pull down hatch to the attic provides plenty of extra storage. The finished basement is versatile space complete with recreation space, laundry room, utility room, and storage. The coach house is your next stop, but don't miss the second full bath on the landing before you enter the garden! The coach house is the current owners' favorite spot. Lovingly called the "game hut", it is a perfect space for whatever your family needs: fourth bedroom, guest house, office, art studio, music studio, spiritual get-away...whatever your heart desires. It provides plenty of private space with many windows, plus a storage room that could be a wine cellar or full bath. An additional bike/storage room is accessible from the exterior. This lovely coach house is located the perfect distance from the main house--not too close or too far, in its own serene, wooded environment. Professional landscaping with new custom iron and lattice fence surrounds the back yard. A paver patio provides lovely space for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Newer stucco (2020), New water heater (2024), HE Boiler (2015), CAC, Sump-Pump. New cement sidewalk and driveway. Newly redone limestone steps. 2030 sq. ft. in the main house and 300 sq. ft. in the coach house. One-car garage with dual garage doors, and a driveway for exterior parking. Close to the Metra for easy commuting.
