Warm, welcoming, and wonderfully laid out, this 4 bedroom, 2 and 1/2 bathroom brick Colonial sits on a large, private lot in Highland Park’s sought after Braeside neighborhood. The main level flows effortlessly from room to room, anchored by two distinct living areas: a cozy family room with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a gracious formal living room filled with natural light. The formal dining room features gleaming hardwood floors and a mirrored accent wall that beautifully opens the space. The renovated eat-in kitchen impresses with crisp white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, gold hardware, a herringbone tile backsplash, an LG gas range, and a separate breakfast area with sliding door views of the backyard. The heated four season sunroom is a true highlight, offering panoramic views of the mature, landscaped yard and private stone patio. A tucked away first floor office and laundry room complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes 2 big walk-in closets and a large primary bath with a double vanity, extra large shower, whirlpool tub and water closet. Three additional generous bedrooms round out the upper level. The massive unfinished basement is ready for your vision. There is also an attached 2-car garage. Close to Braeside Elementary School, the Green Bay Trail, the Chicago Botanic Garden, Ravinia Festival, the Braeside Metra station, downtown Highland Park, and downtown Glencoe. Easy proximity to the Edens Expressway and 294.
