Set on nearly an acre in coveted East Northbrook, this stately 6,000-square-foot brick traditional offers the scale, flexibility, and enduring quality today's North Shore buyers prioritize - located within highly acclaimed Northbrook School District 28 and Glenbrook North High School. A gracious center foyer opens to beautifully proportioned formal living and dining rooms, highlighted by rich hardwood floors and timeless architectural detail, including arches, built in shelving and extensive moldings. Designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort, the expansive floor plan flows seamlessly into a generous chef's kitchen with oversized island, abundant cabinetry, and high end appliances (Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking 6 burner double oven range) which opens directly to the sun-filled family room. Walls of windows frame picturesque views of the private grounds, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout, and a charming screened porch offers a spot for coffee or wine in warmer weather! A handsome paneled library with a wet bar and ample bookshelves provides the perfect work from home setting; while the spacious main floor bedroom suite offers invaluable flexibility for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with oversized windows and a sitting room. The lovely bath has a separate tub and shower, and double sinks with marble countertop. An additional four or five spacious bedrooms (one is currently used as an office/study room) include a private three room suite - ideal for a nanny or in-law arrangement. With five full and two half baths, the home easily accommodates growing families and large gatherings alike. The finished lower level adds exceptional lifestyle space with a recreation area and dedicated wine cellar, perfect for entertaining. A three-car garage and expansive yard provide room to play, gather, and enjoy the privacy that nearly an acre affords. The possibilities are endless-option for main floor and/or 2nd floor primary bedrooms; room for pool or sport court-whatever you like! This combination of size, land, and location are rarely available. Located within Northbrook's top-rated school districts and minutes from parks, town, and commuter access, this is a rare opportunity to own a classic estate that combines academic advantage, timeless design, and the space North Shore families seek.
