You're going to love this meticulously maintained and updated home in the heart of downtown Northbrook- just steps from everything... the Metra Station, the Village Green, stores, restaurants and more! With four spacious bedrooms upstairs and three full bathrooms, this home has a ton of space and highly desired updates- including resurfaced kitchen cabinets, a BRAND NEW ROOF, new stove cooktop, and more. The main level offers a fantastic layout with great flow and everything today's buyers are looking for, especially in the highly sought-after District 28, just walking distance to Greenbriar Elementary. Walking into the home, you find a beautiful staircase with an open balcony looking down on the living room. On your right, the first-floor office with double french doors is a perfect spot for working from home, which leads into the open kitchen-to-family-room, ideal for gatherings and functional daily living. Plus, there's beautiful hardwood throughout that has JUST been refinished... and a finished basement with ample storage areas for even more space. To make it even better, 2018 Illinois boasts an Alexa-powered (Lutron) light system, and all wall mounted flat screen TVs on the 1st and 2nd floors included with the home. This home truly has it all- don't miss it!
Newer construction from 2001 atop an old foundation. Good general condition and very good finishes. Nice great room and access to the backyard. Not the standard floorplan - quite open on 1st level and broken up on the 2nd with a slope in the bridge...
feature that connects the master to the other BR's on the 2nd floor. Tilted sill stones on the exterior are a bit disconcerting considering the rehab was done only 12 years ago. Lot backs on to low wet area, townhomes and the backs of businesses fronting onto Shermer.

Pluses: location, close to town center, transportation, Greenbriar school, newer kitchen and fab master suite. Minuses: odd layout of main floor, small finished lower level and two hall baths with in feet of each other on second floor. This home...
needs an architect's intervention and price adjustment.

Highlights of this home: spacious granite kitchen that opens to the family room with fireplace and doors out to a large wood deck, updated master bath with large soaking tub and separate plate glass enclosed shower. The flow of the main floor...
consists of tandem rooms opening into one another and feels like a tunnel. The second floor has two hall baths. The basement is semi finished with carpeting and a tiled craft/mess area. This property is within blocks of Metra Train, Caribou Coffee, Sunset Foods, Greenbriar Elementary, GBN high school and Village Green.

R5
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.
