Welcome to this charming ranch cottage, nestled on 1.5 acres of mature and lush landscaping, offering the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This unique home was originally built by Robert and Helen Morrison in 1941. It is now the headquarters of The Morrison Shearer Foundation. This property, along with the studio just east of the home at 1 Morrison Lane, have been important in the history of mid-twentieth century modern dance and portrait photography. It sits on a street with several million dollar homes offering expansion possibilities or it can be renovated to meet your lifestyle and needs. Step inside the foyer to discover a cozy and inviting interior, featuring three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The warm and spacious living room is ideal for gatherings or cozy nights by the fireplace. The large, bright dining room is perfect for entertaining family and friends. The galley kitchen retains much of its original charm. The sun-filled and spacious primary bedroom has two generous closets. The second bedroom, with a wood burning fireplace, shares a full bathroom with the primary bedroom. There are 8" wide plank hardwood floors and floor to ceiling windows throughout the home. The property is surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery, providing a serene and tranquil atmosphere. Enjoy summer barbecues on the spacious porch while you soak up the beauty of the surrounding nature. An attached two-car garage and partial basement offer plenty of extra storage space. There is also a 2 room workshop on the property. This home is conveniently located just minutes away from shopping, dining, entertainment, and the Edens Expressway. Although near the expressway, the highway is out of sight and there is minimal noise. This charming ranch cottage is the perfect place to call home. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this unique property your own and experience the best of Northbrook living. Property is also listed for land (MLS#11749359) and will be sold "as-is".
