This extraordinary Northbrook home is a masterpiece of design and functionality. From the moment you arrive, the stately pillars and flagstone walkway leading to the arched, solid-oak double doors set the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, the dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, architectural beams and an abundance of natural light streaming through skylights and cathedral windows. The heart of the home is the breathtaking two-story family room, featuring a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace-a true centerpiece-surrounded by oversized windows that bathe the space in sunlight. French doors seamlessly connect this gathering space to a charming stone patio and the lushly landscaped backyard, offering a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting professional-grade appliances, SubZero, Thermador, Bosch and JennAir - a generous center island, walk-in pantry, and multiple workstations. A sunlit eating area adds to the charm, making it a hub for family gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a mudroom with cubbies, a second staircase, and convenient access to the attached three-car garage. This home is as functional as it is beautiful, offering versatile spaces like the main floor bedroom (or office) with an ensuite bath and private terrace. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with volume ceilings, a serene balcony, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a jacuzzi, steam shower, and dual walk-in closets. Three additional bedrooms on this level each include walk-in closets and ensuite or connecting baths, ensuring comfort and privacy. For the visionary buyer, the expansive 72-foot-long lower level is a blank canvas, ready to be transformed into a recreation area, gym, theater, or additional living space. The outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with four distinct entertainment areas, a landscaped yard filled with mature trees and colorful perennials, and an underground sprinkler system. Located on a picturesque, tree-lined street set back from Shermer Road, this home offers both privacy and convenience, just blocks from the heart of Northbrook. Blending iconic architectural details with modern luxury, this one-of-a-kind home is truly a sanctuary for those who appreciate craftsmanship, style, and space.

R4
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.
