MULTIPLE OFFERS RECEIVED. FINAL AND BEST DUE BY 2PM SUNDAY 5/17. NO ESCALATION CLAUSES. Some homes are just houses. This one is a legacy. For the first time since it was built, this sprawling 5-bedroom Northbrook treasure is ready to welcome its next chapter. Lovingly maintained by its original family for nearly six decades, this estate sale offering is as rare as it gets: a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a home that has never changed hands. Move right in and enjoy it exactly as it is, or hand the keys to your interior designer and make it gloriously, unapologetically yours. Either way, she’s ready. Pull up and prepare to fall a little in love before you even step inside. Double front doors open into a generous foyer that sets the tone immediately and flows into the sun-drenched living room with sliding glass doors that spill out to one of two patios and in-ground pool which is winterized annually and ready for the new owner to bring it back to life. Back inside, the kitchen overlooks the backyard and opens effortlessly from the peninsula into a warm breakfast nook. Off the kitchen, you’ll find a laundry room with a convenient side door and a dedicated half bath, thoughtfully designed for pool days so wet feet never wander far. The addition is the feature that truly sets this home apart. The original family room opens to a sprawling great room unlike anything else on the block, complete with a built-in wet bar, a cozy gas fireplace, soaring wood beams, its own dedicated HVAC system, and sliding glass doors that lead directly to the backyard oasis. This is the room where memories are made. A formal dining room sits perfectly positioned for entertaining, while a powder room rounds out the first floor. Upstairs, five large bedrooms await, alongside a versatile bonus room begging to become a home office, upstairs laundry, or additional bath. The primary suite is a proper retreat, featuring a walk-in closet and a full private bath. Downstairs, the partially finished basement offers a large utility room, a bonus room with tons of potential, and impressive storage throughout. You’re perfectly positioned in Northbrook with accessibility to Downtown Northbrook’s shops, dining, and Village Green as well as having Northbrook’s Park District and YMCA just down street. Local favorites like Prairie Grass Cafe, Bean Bar, and Sorelle are all nearby, with River Trail Nature Center minutes away for a quick escape. Commuters will appreciate Metra’s 25+ daily trips to Chicago and O’Hare just 17 miles out. This is an estate sale being sold as-is, and it is priced and presented accordingly. Homes like this do not come around twice. Run, don’t walk.
