Welcome to this breathtaking 4,476 sq. ft. custom brick residence in Norwood Park - offering the rare combination of Chicago living with access to Park Ridge schools. A soaring two-story foyer with a magnificent oak staircase, hand-turned balusters, and diamond-pattern tile sets the tone from the moment you arrive. The chef's kitchen impresses with custom oak cabinetry, dark granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into an expansive dining area with a stunning chandelier and sliding glass doors opening to a private backyard deck. The vaulted great room with skylights, a cozy fireplace, and walls of windows is simply breathtaking. All 6 bedrooms are generously sized with gleaming hardwood floors and rich millwork - anchored by a primary suite spanning an incredible 19'7" x 24'3". 4 full bathrooms serve every level with ease, and the lower level adds nearly 1,400 sq. ft. of versatile in law space. A rare opportunity to own a home of this scale, quality, and character - in one of the city's most sought-after pockets.
Norwood Park, located between the Kennedy Expressway and the Des Plaines River, is a residential and historic Chicago neighborhood with a village-like core and leafy parkland edges. The character concentrates around Northwest Highway near Norwood Park Metra, where bakeries, taverns, and small storefronts line the sidewalk under the rumble of passing trains. Classic Chicago bungalows and brick two-flats mix with older frame houses, especially around the landmark Norwood Park Historical District. The Norwood Park Historical Society anchors local memory with exhibits and walking-tour lore. Nearby, Superdawg Drive-In and the Edison Park Inn sit on the neighborhood’s orbit of long-running, locally rooted hangouts. Green space and trails thread through the area via the North Branch corridor and neighborhood parks.
