Set on a quiet bend in Northbrook's sought-after Charlemagne neighborhood, this two-story colonial backs to one of the most private yards on the street. Mature, freshly enhanced landscaping frames a paver-brick patio with exterior lighting, underground sprinklers, and a built-in grill - peaceful and screened from view, built for relaxing or hosting. Inside, the current owners have done the work buyers rarely give credit for until they're living without it. The kitchen carries brand-new LG stainless appliances, refaced cabinets, granite counters, a center island, pantry, and planning desk. Recessed lighting was added in every room, the carpet is new, and the whole interior was freshly painted. A formal living room and separate dining room, a family room anchored by a gas-log fireplace, and first-floor laundry/mud room off the garage round out the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and updated bath, with a refreshed hall bath. The partial basement is unfinished - a clean slate to build out the way you want. The expensive and often overlooked items are already handled: newer windows, sliding doors, HVAC, roof, driveway, and a battery back-up sump pump. The result is genuinely move-in ready - nothing left to do but settle in. Updated homes in Charlemagne don't come up often. Location does the rest. It's a walk to Hickory Point Elementary, with Wood Oaks Junior High (District 27) feeding into Glenbrook North (District 225) - the school path that drives demand in this pocket of Northbrook. Shopping, dining, and the Metra are all a short drive.
