Description

Be drawn in by the estate appeal! 926 is set back on a large and lush lot. The feeling of granduer continues as you enter the foyer of this classic colonial and see the oversized sweeping staircase and soaring 10ft ceilings. The design is on pointe and the finishes are high end! Cozy up to the wood burning fireplace in the oversized living room or enjoy cooking dinner on the BlueStar stove. Life is easier when the garage is heated and attached and feeds into a mud room, complete with 1st floor laundry. Head upstairs to enjoy the fully updated bathrooms with top of the line finishes and generous room sizes. The journey continues to the finished 3rd floor and the finished basement, complete with wet bar. The house just goes on and on! And so does the yard! Ready for a winter hockey rink, swimming pool or just a run across the grass. All this AND top rated schools AND an easy commute to downtown Chicago!
