Northbrook, IL 60062

Charming, classic Northbrook Vintage 2 story from 1928, on one of the oldest streets in town, is ready for you to bring your ideas & make it your own! Great "bones" just looking for some updates to bring it into current style. A coat of paint & new carpets will do wonders for this cozy cottage! Excellent walk-to-town (and train) location. Featuring a unique layout with lots of storage space. The first floor has a formal living and dining room which are original to the 1928 house, with a full bathroom which was added later in 1934 when plumbing was installed (and has been updated since). The open kitchen has a nostalgic feel with farmhouse style sink and wood cabinets, but with the modern conveniences for today's home cooks. Cozy wood burning stove sets the stage in the family room, and there is a generously sized pantry plus extra walk in closet adjacent to the kitchen, with a den that could be a home office or workout space, with access to the attached 1 car garage. On the second floor there are 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, plus a laundry room and a spacious office with a second staircase. District 28 schools. New roof 2016, Pella windows in bedrooms, living, and dining room 2013. Hot water heater was replaced in 2015. Exterior painted in 2018, new refrigerator in 2017. BRAND NEW furnace 2021.
