The kitchen also features a large food-preparation island with granite top, under-counter refrigerator, wine cooler, beverage center, and l teak base cabinets. A second island has counter seating for ten. A large walk-in pantry and a second full kitchen are seamlessly connected to the main kitchen, facilitating large gatherings and specialty cooking. The kitchen and dining area open up onto a large outside concrete deck for outside dining and evening fires overlooking the oversized back yard. The second floor features 9 foot ceilings, a large office and living, study, or hobby area, an ensuite guest room with outside patio, a second guest bedroom with shared bath that has a jacuzzi tub, a large potential second primary suite with an outside patio, a bonus room that is pre-plumbed for an additional bathroom, and an additional bedroom.

The infrastructure includes 400-amp electrical service, a new 6-inch sewer line, copper water service, three dual sump pumps (120v and 12v with battery backups). The property also features a separate 1,440-square-foot, fully finished building with 10-foot ceilings, an 8-foot-high double garage door with parking for two vehicles, three 8-by-12-foot storage rooms, and a 360-square-foot studio apartment.

The home features convenient commuting, with access to US Route 41, the Fort Sheridan Metra line, restaurants, shopping, and community events of Highland Park and Highwood. A truly unique home offering privacy, scale, and thoughtful design in a prime Highland Park location.
Buena Woods, located between Skokie Valley Road and the Skokie River corridor, is a residential and wooded Highland Park neighborhood with curving streets and a quiet, park-like setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Skokie Valley Road and Old Elm Road junction, where traffic thins into trailheads, playing fields, and the green edge of the preserve. Housing reads as mid-century ranches and updated colonials set back behind mature trees and broad lawns. The Skokie Valley Trail frames daily routines with long, straight miles for cycling and running. Nearby, the Highland Park Golf Learning Center and Sunset Valley Golf Club add a low-key sports cadence. Ravinia Festival and the Highland Park Public Library anchor culture a short drive east.
