About this House
Sophisticated design and thoughtful space planning define this beautifully renovated 5-bedroom, 3.1-bath single-story brick ranch. Reimagined in 2022, this top-to-bottom renovation delivers high-quality finishes and a cohesive, modern aesthetic. Set on a half-acre lot with south-facing rear yard, the home is enhanced by pretty seasonal landscaping, mature trees, and a fenced yard, creating an inviting and serene outdoor setting. Inside, expansive Andersen windows and doors fill the home with magnificent natural light. The open floor plan showcases light oak hardwood floors that have been recently refinished. The wide and welcoming foyer is gracious in scale. The sunlit living room is anchored by a cozy wood burning fireplace (with gas logs). The separate dining room flows seamlessly into the living room, kitchen, and spacious new rear deck--perfect for indoor/outdoor entertaining. Designed with both function and style in mind, the chef's kitchen is appointed with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, ILVE gas range, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry with abundant pantry storage, marble countertops, and a peninsula with stool seating. The kitchen opens to an architecturally striking family room with a beamed and vaulted ceiling, and expanded sliding glass door that opens to a garden patio and play area. Beyond the family room is a lovely powder room, and mud/laundry room near the attached garage. All four main level bedrooms have light oak hardwood flooring and larger-than-expected closets. The primary suite overlooks the rear yard, and boasts a luxurious private bath with dedicated dressing area. The finished basement adds exceptional versatility, including a huge recreation room, 5th bedroom suite (with egress), and a full bath--ideal for guests, in-laws or live-in help. Perfectly located near the scenic trails of Mellody Farm Nature Preserve, Middlefork Savanna Forest Preserve, and Lake Forest Open Lands at Middlefork Farm, this home offers a rare blend of style, comfort, and access to nature!

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy two boys studied here and they both got incredible education and made lifelong friends.Yes, it is a fact that this community comprises of mostly wealthy families but we have seen so far are just regular kids. DPM prepared our kids well for high school. One of them went to a top 5 college in the nation for his discipline. We are thankful to the wonderful DPM that paved the way for their success.Parent Review1y ago - Everett Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is clean and clearly has an open door policy. They are very parent friendly, but that's where the strengths end. Once the doors close and the parents leave, the problems occur. The teaching is ineffective. The teachers are not differentiating their instruction to facilitate a quality educational experience for all learners. Although the students are grouped to promote cooperative learning, it is clear that students are not given the opportunities to excel to an advanced level. This is wrong and crippling to the students who can do better. The writing program is either very weak, or it is not being implemented properly. Perhaps more professional development is needed. It is unfortunate, however, that our children have to suffer by not having quality writing instruction. Fortunately, I am teaching my child how to write summaries and essays. I am also teaching my child grammar, civics, and geography. I also supplement my child's reading and math. It is clear that the school relies heavily on the parents to do the teaching. My son will excel, but it won't be because of the teachers and staff at Everett.Parent Review8y ago - Deer Path Middle School East

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageQuite possibly the best education any child would be lucky enough to receive in this country. The environment is geared toward learning and advancement toward college and a professional career. Teachers are engaging and knowledgeable. The only hit or miss is the administrative staff. Solid school, solid education along with a great athletic program. Highly recommend LFHSParent Review3y ago
