This isn't just any house-it's a place where traditions are honored, where every corner is filled with charm, and where memories are ready to be made. Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by a world of elegance and grandeur of traditional design in every detail. Spiral staircase is a piece of art on its own, stately pillars, tall crown moldings, and deep tray ceilings evoke classical sophistication. Rich custom paint, beautifully framed old pictures, and sumptuous heavy drapes enhance the luxurious atmosphere. This home exudes a warm and inviting ambiance, blending historical charm with modern comfort to create a space that is both distinguished and welcoming. Well-designed floor plan gives it a seamless flow from one room to another. The formal dining room is the perfect setting for family dinners, holiday gatherings, and celebrations that will be remembered for years to come. The heart of this home, the custom kitchen, is nothing short of a chef's dream. Built-in high end appliances, a large granite island with a second sink, and a breakfast table make this the perfect spot for morning pancakes, after-school snacks, and everything in between. The family room, with its cozy fireplace (one of 3!) and sliding doors leading to the backyard, is where evenings will be spent as the family gathers together. Main floor bedroom has its own private bath in addition to a powder room for guests. Upstairs, five spacious bedrooms await, each with its own bathroom, offering the perfect blend of privacy and comfort. The master suite is a true retreat, with vaulted ceilings that soar above you and a spa-like bathroom that includes a custom walk-in steam shower and two big custom built California closets. For families with little ones, the Jack-and-Jill bathroom between two of the bedrooms is ideal, giving kids their own space while still staying close by. 2nd floor laundry is a must nowadays and it takes up the entire loft which is currently being used as a massage room. The full 2700 sq.ft. basement is an entertainer's paradise. Imagine hosting friends in the custom bar area, playing pool and cooking up a feast in the second kitchen, or indulging in the private sauna after a long day. If you are looking for a little project to make it your own - there is a movie theater and a wine cellar waiting to be finished. With 2 staircases, 4 whirlpools, 3 fireplaces, maintenance free deck and 3 car garage, this Northbrook home is nothing short of extraordinary - it's a place where memories are made, where traditions are created, and where a family can truly grow. It's a home that offers both the luxury of modern living and the warmth of a time-honored tradition. It's waiting for the right family to come and make it their own. Could that family be yours?
