About this House

Welcome to 2720 Appletree Lane, Northbrook. A rare opportunity to write the next chapter of a well-loved house in one of the North Shore’s most desirable neighborhoods. Built in 1961 with the solid construction of that lost era of caring and qualified craftsmen, this residence has been cared for by a single family for 65 years. Its bones are strong, straight, and solid. The original carpeting throughout the house has been protecting the solid oak plank flooring that was standard back in the day. There is a two-car garage, but the home does require a central air conditioning upgrade. The location is exceptional, and the home’s potential is unlimited. Step inside and you’ll see a home ready for your vision. Whether that be a thoughtful refresh, or an expanded kitchen and nook that becomes the heart of the home, or a personalized exclusive master suite, or even a much simpler room-by-room transformation that fits your timeline and budget. The exterior does have a quiet charm; the interior is a generous canvas waiting for warmth, light, and the life you want to express here. The setting makes everyday living easy. Besides convenient local shopping, you’re minutes from the expressways and tollway, a short drive to the train, all well-connected to Chicago. Local amenities, parks, sports’ programs, and a highly regarded top-tier school district (Elementary #28 and High School #225) — one of Illinois’ strongest - are all close at hand, making this an ideal place for a new family to put down roots. Being sold “as-is”, with no expressed or implied warranties, the home is priced to move quickly and ready for someone who can see what it can become: a comfortable, stylish family home or possibly a renovation project with an incredible upside. Come walk through. Picture the mornings, the gatherings, the decades of memories to come. This house is waiting for its next chapter which could involve you and your family. ADDED BENEFIT – the sale does come with one set of original blueprints which will eliminate the trouble and guesswork of any future modifications. Please note that the property will be shown by appointment only. Act now to avoid the inevitable bidding war, which is the usual case for these highly sought Northbrook properties.

    "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. "
  • Forman.ellie
    "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. "
  • Pankapanka52
    "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."
  • Tsdaniels11
