Property Description
Looking for a home with character, space, and endless possibilities? This custom-designed Prairie-style ranch offers a refreshing alternative to cookie-cutter living. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a dramatic mid-century modern flair, this residence blends architectural charm with room to grow. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and expansive windows that flood the living spaces with natural light. A light-filled family room addition, framed by striking ceiling inlayed windows, creates the perfect gathering spot for everyday living or entertaining. The oversized rooms throughout the home provide flexibility rarely found today-whether you envision a cozy reading nook, a home office, or a play space, you'll have the square footage to make it happen. The fireplace in the living room adds warmth and character, while the dining room with exposed beams sets the stage for memorable meals. A spacious eat-in kitchen offers plenty of potential to design your dream cooking space, while the massive utility/laundry room makes organization effortless. Enjoy morning coffee or evening breezes in the enclosed porch, or take the party outdoors to the outdoor porch and expansive yard-nearly half an acre of outdoor living space waiting for your vision. Situated on a large corner lot with a two-car garage, this home combines privacy with convenience. Its location near Route 41 provides easy access to downtown Highland Park and downtown Deerfield, plus the advantage of a choice between two excellent high schools. While the home is in vintage condition, it has been thoughtfully priced for the next owner to bring their own design touches and create something extraordinary. With its dramatic architecture, generous footprint, and unbeatable location, this property is ready to be transformed into a showpiece. If you're searching for something different-something with flair, space, and architectural distinction-this is the opportunity you've been waiting for. Home is in good shape but sold as-is with no credits given.
