Striking brick and cedar contemporary home with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, privately set back from the street on a rare 300' deep fenced lot. With over 3,300 square feet, the home has been extensively updated since 2023, including a fully redesigned and remodeled second floor, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, an oak staircase, beautifully remodeled bathrooms, fresh exterior paint, and extensive recessed lighting. The main level welcomes you with a dramatic two-story open foyer leading to a light-filled living room with vaulted beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, adjacent to a formal dining room ideal for entertaining. The separate chef's kitchen features 42" custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and an eating area with access to the brick paver patio. The kitchen connects seamlessly to a warm and inviting family room centered around a gas-burning fireplace, creating an ideal space for everyday living and gatherings. A main-level fifth bedroom or private office is located near a full bath, offering a flexible option well-suited for multigenerational living, in-law arrangements, or guests. A conveniently located laundry room completes the first floor. The second level features a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a spa-like bath with dual vanity, quartz countertops, and a walk-in shower, along with an oversized walk-in closet and private balcony. Three additional spacious bedrooms are also located on this level, including an oversized room with custom built-ins currently used as a home office that overlooks the backyard, and are served by a full hall bath. The finished basement provides a large recreation or workout space along with abundant storage. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a fully fenced backyard framed by mature trees for privacy, featuring a brick paver patio with built-up flower beds and seating, a vegetable garden, pergola, and a large storage shed. Additional updates include a roof (2016), new AC and furnace (2023-2025), hot water heater (2020), and sump pump with battery backup (2023). Ideally located within walking distance to multiple parks and just minutes from schools and downtown Northbrook, this home is situated in award-winning District 27 and Glenbrook North High School District 225 and is truly move-in ready.

Single Family Residential District
Six zoning districts are provided for single family residential development. Residential use and height regulations are identical in all zoning districts except for the Residential and Limited Commercial District. Only service uses that are compatible with the single family residential character of each zoning district and religious organizations and their associated elementary and secondary schools are allowed as permitted or special permit uses in addition to permitted residential uses except for the Residential and Limited Commercial District. Taken together, the six single family districts blend, in combination with the multiple family districts in Article IV, to provide a broad range of opportunity for the development and preservation of housing responsive to diverse demand. The districts, while distinct, permit a harmonious spectrum of housing alternatives. The single family districts provide for a range of housing densities from low density estate-type lots in a semi-rural setting (R-1) through lots of modest size with greater density potential (R-5). The intervening districts (R-2, R-3, R-4) provide gradation of lot area, frontage and yard requirements. The Residential and Limited Commercial District provides for a diversity of both residential and community-based commercial uses. The availability of special permits for planned developments in all single family districts allows for varied plan treatment while maintaining the essential character of the district as it relates both to housing type and overall density. In the single family district the combination of uniform use regulations and varied bulk and yard regulations is intended to: A. Perpetuate the existing high quality residential character of the Village by preserving established neighborhoods while encouraging beneficial new development consistent with the overall character of the existing Village.
