Property Description
Step into this Serena and Lily inspired beautifully renovated brick Colonial in the heart of Glenview... and prepare to never leave. Enter through the new powder blue front door and notice the expansive formal living room with built in bookcases, a fireplace, and timeless walnut stained hardwood floors. Head through the formal dining room (currently set up as a den/sitting room) and check out the kitchen which was remodeled with new counters, cabinets, backsplash and finishes in 2021. Enjoy the open flow of the back of the house with a large eating area (PLUS a breakfast bar), windows galore, and a great family room space. Flow out to the brand new patio (2023) and enjoy the mature landscaping and complete privacy this yard offers. Back inside, you'll find a remodeled full bathroom on the main floor for guest convenience. Downstairs is a finished basement with room to play and hang, cabinets for storage, a fireplace for cozy winter nights, and a massive unfinished laundry/storage room that has potential for more finished space & a potential 5th bedroom. Upstairs on the bedroom level, you'll find 4 over-sized bedrooms that share a full bathroom updated in 2021, closets, and the potential to create a true primary suite. 1161 Vernon has all the charm of an older built home but all the conveniences and updates we all want in 2025. Other updates include: new siding, gutters, and exterior paint (2021), washer and dryer (2024), dishwasher (2025), full interior paint job (2021) and a new garage door system (2023). Walk to both the private and public schools, the metra, and all the exciting new shops and restaurants coming to downtown Glenview (several are so close you can actually see them from the top of the street!) Do not miss this move-in ready, classic home.
