Here in this most desirable Sherwood Forest location, you will find a home flooded with natural light and surrounded by nature! The vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring (under carpet on 2nd floor) and updated windows welcome you. The generous eat-in kitchen has ceramic tile flooring, great cabinet and counter space and opens to the magical 28'x24' deck...the place many dream of but rarely acquire! The upper level includes three roomy bedrooms; the primary bedroom, with its own walk-in closet and private bath. Bedrooms two and three share a bright, skylit hall bath. The lower level encompasses the finished family room, with porcelain tile flooring, loads of windows, plus a large cedar closet. There's plenty of place to exercise, study or play...and...walk out to the fenced yard. The convenient laundry and storage room is right there. This lovingly maintained home is on a large, professionally landscaped, wooded corner property, filled with perennial plantings and grand oak trees. Choice of either Highland Park or Deerfield High School. 1661 Berkeley is located just moments from Lake Michigan, the highway, train and vibrant downtown Highland Park..it's the place to entertain this summer both inside and out...it will make your heart sing!
