On a quiet tree-lined street in East Highland Park, you will find a beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath red-brick Colonial in one of Highland Park's premier neighborhoods. Hardwood floors and expansive newer windows span the residence. Every room is filled with vibrant natural light. The spacious living room features a classic gas fireplace flanked by glass doors opening to the family room/sunroom room (2016) with its custom bookcases and peaceful views of the lush perennial gardens. An inviting dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining. At the heart of the home, the sun-drenched eat-in kitchen boasts white cabinetry, newer stainless steel appliances, a generous pantry, and French doors leading directly to a private outdoor deck for seamless indoor-outdoor dining. The rear entrance opens to a convenient mudroom. The upper level offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and two beautifully remodeled full baths. The primary bedroom shares hallway access to one of the tastefully updated bathrooms. The finished lower level significantly extends the living space, featuring a third remodeled full bath, a large recreation room, (ideal for an office, gym, or playroom), a versatile bonus room, a spacious laundry room, and abundant storage. One car garage plus an additional convenient storage shed. Unbeatable Highland Park location-just blocks from Lake Michigan beaches, vibrant downtown shopping, the public library, and Metra train access. Lovely neighborhood...lovely neighbors!!
