This delightful 3-bedroom, 3-bath Cape Cod with a 3-car garage offers the perfect blend of character and condition-ideal for buyers seeking top-rated Northbrook schools and a friendly, social neighborhood. Just steps from Techny Prairie Park, Village Green, the Metra, and all the shops and restaurants downtown, the location in Northbrook Manor where they have block parties is unbeatable. The heart of the home is the vaulted family room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace (AS IS - not used by current owners), part of a thoughtful 1981 addition that expanded the original home to include an airy dining room, a third full bath, and an upstairs primary suite.

    "It’s just a quiet sunset residential town. People move here because of the school districts. That’s the main incentive that draws people in, since that’s where most of our property taxes go. It’s mostly family oriented. "

    "Walkable to Metra train to city — then about a 40-minute train ride. Also close drive to highway with approx 40-60-minute drive to city. "

    "It’s a sundown town. The schools are good. However, there’s not much diversity. If you have a car, you have everything you need and you’re close to 94 and 294, which makes it ideal to commute from the northern suburbs. It’s quiet for the most part and there’s not much going on. It’s mostly a residential town. You only live here if you have kids."
