This 5-bedroom plus 1 additional in the finished basement, 3.2-bathroom home is the perfect canvas for a discerning buyer seeking to create a truly custom residence. With a sprawling layout, soaring natural light, and standout outdoor amenities, this home has all the structural ingredients to become a masterpiece in one of the North Shore's most desirable communities. From the moment you arrive, the home's full-brick exterior, mature trees, and wide lot convey timeless presence. Step through the main entrance into a beautiful formal foyer, a graceful introduction to the home's scale and character. An elegant staircase divides the front entry from the main living spaces, creating architectural flow and balance while preserving openness. This thoughtful separation provides both a sense of welcome and an opportunity to impress. What sets this property apart immediately is the tremendous amount of natural light. The home is filled with an exceptional number of large windows across every level, which bathe the rooms in sunlight, illuminate original details, and bring the outdoors in. Whether you're in the front living room, kitchen, bedrooms, or basement level, you'll be struck by how bright and open this home feels throughout the day. The living and dining rooms are expansive and inviting, with oversized windows on multiple exposures enhancing the sense of space and comfort. These rooms are ideal for future entertaining, quiet evenings, or elegant hosting, all made better by the surrounding natural light that shifts beautifully from morning to dusk. The kitchen, located toward the rear of the main level, offers an incredible footprint for a full redesign. There's ample space to create a dream chef's kitchen with room for a central island, high-end appliances, a walk-in pantry, and custom cabinetry. Imagine oversized sliders or French doors leading directly to your outdoor entertaining area, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Each of the five upper-level bedrooms is generously sized and features sun-drenched windows, giving every room a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The primary suite offers room for a luxurious en-suite bathroom and custom closet build-out. Additional bedrooms can be adapted to fit any lifestyle, whether as guest rooms, offices, or creative spaces. The fully finished basement adds tremendous versatility and includes a sixth bedroom, half bath, and a large recreation or family room, perfect for guests, a playroom, a theater, or a personal studio. Even this level is illuminated by natural light, enhancing its livability and comfort. Outside, the backyard is a private retreat with outdoor elements rarely found at this price point. A raised deck extends from the rear of the home and is perfect for casual lounging or summer barbecues. The brick fireplace and wood-burning oven create a showstopping focal point for outdoor entertaining, ideal for pizza nights, fireside chats, or parties under the stars. A charming casita or playhouse adds even more personality to the yard, while the mature landscaping ensures privacy and tranquility. The neighborhood is one of Highland Park's most established and cherished. Nearby, enjoy easy access to Sunset Woods Park, Skokie River Woods, and Danny Cunniff Park, offering everything from sports courts and trails to playgrounds and picnic areas. You're also minutes from Renaissance Place, local boutiques, grocery stores, restaurants, and top-rated public schools. Commuting is convenient with nearby Metra service and close proximity to major highways, making trips to downtown Chicago or neighboring suburbs simple and efficient. With over 3,000 square feet of living space, this home offers not just size and structure, but vision. Whether you're an experienced rehabber or a homeowner looking to build your forever home.
