As the foyer and living room welcome you, you'll immediately notice the beautifully engineered maple hardwood floors, while simultaneously sensing that pride of ownership feeling as you make your way through. The separate dining room, with direct kitchen access, provides a seamless transition to the family room. Not to be outdone, the four upstairs bedrooms are supported by two fully updated bathrooms (full hallway bath and full primary on-suite). With an abundance of natural light, this home also boasts a fantastic partial basement for additional living space and storage, as well as an attached two car garage (electric vehicle (EV) ready). Enjoy the large fully fenced backyard oasis featuring a wonderful pergola, gorgeous perennials, garden beds, redone patio, and trees. Perfect for entertaining! Amazingly located just minutes from all that Highland Park has to offer; i.e. Ravinia, Rosewood Beach, Hidden Creek Pool, Golf Courses, Dog Parks, Trails, Downtown HP, Highwood Nightlife, Shopping, Metra Stops, etc, while still conveniently close to Route 41/94 as well as I294. This particular neighborhood is adorned by parks you can walk to in almost every direction. Also in walking distance are two highly rated K-5 schools; Red Oak Elementary (home to the incredible NSSD112 Dual Language Program) & Sherwood Elementary. This updated and meticulously maintained home is completely turn-key! Just move in, and enjoy!
