It includes a fifth bedroom, full bathroom, and expansive area for a home office, gym, recreation room, or guest space. With a separate entrance and an area already plumbed for a kitchen, the basement also presents potential for a private guest suite or rental arrangement. Outside, enjoy the peaceful backyard, with both sunny and shaded areas for relaxing or entertaining. With its substantial architectural features, solid-brick masonry, and a tree-lined setting, this home has the best of comfort, character, and convenience. It is situated in a quiet, well-maintained neighborhood just minutes from the lake, local shops, restaurants, parks, and vibrant Northwestern University. Some photos have been virtually rendered.
