You won't want to miss this 3,500sf hidden gem set back on a 1/2 acre wooded lot at the end of a lovely cul-de-sac in New Trier district. This expanded Hemphill 5 bedroom /3 bath Cape Cod style home will steal your heart. The big front porch welcomes you and the house delivers a sunny interior, spacious rooms, stylish finishes, quality construction, pristine condition and gorgeous views from nearly every window. First floor offers hardwood floors, large living room with fireplace, formal dining room with bay window, newer kitchen with professional-grade appliances, breakfast room with fireplace, library/office and 5th bedroom adjacent to a full bath. The family room addition is adjacent to the breakfast room and has 3 walls of windows, vaulted ceiling, built-ins and access to the spectacular yard and patio. The convenient mudroom offers access to the attached 2+car garage. The second floor offers 4 good-sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The large primary suite includes a luxurious limestone bathroom and walk-in closet. The partial basement with 1,074sf has high ceilings and can be finished. Current owners have used as a woodworking shop and for storage. Sellers are only the 2nd owners of the home and have loved it for over 37 years. Windows, electric and plumbing have been upgraded throughout the years and the home is in good condition so it will be offered As-Is. Best of both worlds with low Northbrook taxes and award winning Middlefork Primary School, Sunset Ridge School & New Trier HS. Easy access to shopping, dining, parks, forest preserve and expressways for quick commute to work or O'Hare airport. Sellers are simplifying and moving to a smaller home so they prefer a closing before July 16 with post-closing possession until August 10. This is a once in a generation opportunity!
