Description

This stately brick Colonial makes a lasting impression on a picturesque tree-lined street in Edgebrook, showcasing timeless architecture paired with thoughtful, modern updates. The gracious foyer sets the tone, opening into beautifully proportioned spaces that balance sophistication with everyday comfort. At the heart of the home is a contemporary kitchen, fully renovated in 2019 with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large center island with prep sink and seating, and a sun-filled bay window complete with built-in bench and desk space. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the formal dining room and dramatic family room, where soaring eleven-foot ceilings, a fireplace, and custom cherry built-ins create an impressive yet welcoming space. French doors extend to the backyard, newly landscaped in recent years and designed for both entertaining and relaxation with a brick paver patio, seat wall, walkway, and updated irrigation system. The elegant living room at the front of the home is anchored by a second fireplace, detailed crown molding, and oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. A main-floor office with backyard views, a mudroom off the attached two-car garage, and a powder room add convenience to the first floor. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite, built in 2014, offers dual walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with heated floors and a rain shower, and French doors opening to a balcony overlooking the yard. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths provide comfort and flexibility, including one bedroom with a Juliette balcony. The lower level, also renovated in 2014, features a spacious fifth bedroom, a fourth full bath, laundry, and ample storage. This well-maintained home has benefited from years of consistent improvements, including a roof and copper gutters in 2015, a furnace in 2016, and a newer garage door. In 2019, the kitchen renovation was accompanied by refinished hardwood flooring, freshly painted walls and ceilings, a newer AC unit, and the installation of the brick paver patio with seat wall and walkway. Smart thermostats were added in 2020, and in 2021 the electrical panel was updated. The property also features a flood control system and has enjoyed complete landscaping in both the front and back. Perfectly situated in the center of Edgebrook, this home is within walking distance to Edgebrook School, the Metra, neighborhood shops and dining, forest preserve trails, and the Billy Caldwell Golf Course. With easy access to downtown Chicago and O'Hare, this residence combines classic elegance, modern comfort, and an ideal location.
