Blending comfortable living across five levels with everyday convenience, this custom-built "New Traditional" residence is situated across from the 15th hole of Skokie Country Club's golf course. Set upon nearly half an acre, the home combines quality craftsmanship, award-winning design, generous living spaces and a convenient Glencoe location close to schools, town, recreation, and transportation. This custom-built Glencoe residence was designed with both gathering and privacy in mind. Pella windows fill the home with natural light, highlighting hardwood floors, detailed millwork and thoughtfully finished interiors. The spacious family room with a stone fireplace overlooks the backyard, while the living and dining rooms enjoy views of the golf course. A thoughtfully positioned mezzanine office easily accommodates two workspaces and overlooks the main floor, making it possible to work apart from the house's activity while still remaining connected. A separate loft, located a half-floor above the bedroom level, provides additional space for reading, television, homework or casual gatherings. Four spacious en-suite bedrooms each include a walk-in closet, and two of the bedrooms open to private balconies. A fifth bedroom suite in the finished lower level provides additional flexibility for guests or other uses. The lower level significantly expands the home's recreational space. Heated floors run beneath an open recreation area with room for television viewing, exercise and a bar, along with enough space for pool, ping-pong, gaming or a combination of activities. Just steps from scenic bike and walking trails, 780 Prairie offers easy access to downtown Glencoe, Glencoe Beach, the Skokie Lagoons, Chicago Botanic Garden and Ravinia Festival. This well-designed home offers substantial space, flexibility and a location that makes it easy to enjoy much of what the North Shore has to offer.

North Shore, located between Evanston and Lake Forest, is a residential and lakeside Chicago neighborhood with leafy ravines and a shoreline park system. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Metra stations and village centers along Green Bay Road, where independent cafes, bookstores, and small galleries line walkable blocks. Writers Theatre and the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts anchor the cultural calendar, while the Chicago Botanic Garden sets a seasonal rhythm just beyond the lakefront. Streets of brick Colonials, Tudors, and mid-century homes sit behind mature trees and stone walls. Lake Michigan beaches and the Green Bay Trail shape daily routines with long, linear outdoor corridors. Commuter rail and lakefront drives connect the area to downtown without changing its quiet, curated pace.
