Finally, your 'Forever Home' awaits. Welcome to East Kenilworth - 311 Raleigh Rd - where classic elegance meets effortless living in one of the North Shore's most coveted communities. Just two blocks from Kenilworth Beach and six blocks to the Metra, this reimagined Cape Cod offers both charm and convenience on a storybook cobblestone street lined with mature trees and timeless architecture. Designed with flexibility for every stage of life, the home features a rare 1st-floor primary suite, full laundry on the main level (1 of 2), and a 4th bedroom currently used as an art studio-easily adaptable as a nursery, home office, or caregiver's suite. The generous layout flows into spacious entertaining areas anchored by an upgraded chef's kitchen with professional appliances and custom cabinetry. Seamlessly blending style and comfort, the home showcases high-quality finishes, crisp millwork, a neutral designer palette, and the cherry on top, a heated garage. Outdoor spaces invite both relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining, making this a true forever home-perfect for quiet mornings or joyful holiday gatherings. Living in Kenilworth means more than just a location-it's a way of life. Here, tree-lined avenues and architectural beauty meet award-winning schools, including The Joseph Sears School (JK-8) and New Trier High School. Boutique shops, fine dining, and the Metra within walking distance, offering an effortless commute to Chicago. Ranch-style living in Kenilworth is rare. A home like this-built to evolve with you over decades-is rarer still. Welcome to 311 Raleigh Road
