The story

  • Basement

On a sunny and large corner lot, this house has hints of mid-century charm throughout and so much more space than the exterior lets on! This uber charming Skokie single family offers 3 well-sized main-level bedrooms, beautiful natural light, and two generously large living spaces to accommodate everyday living along with designer finishes. Perfectly buffed and stained hardwood floors in a modern tone complement a kitchen featuring light wood cabinetry with a relaxed but modern feel, beige-and-white quartz countertops, under cabinet lighting, modern hardware accents and brand-new stainless steel appliances (under warranty). The main-level full bath features a European-style shower and tub, and a dramatic vaulted ceiling with window. An expansive three-season sunroom is a wonderful bonus on the rear of the home -perfect for a plant lover, parties, or a quiet morning coffee. Explore adding a mini-split system for year-round enjoyment. Outside, the sunny corner lot offers a lovely setting for the colorful perennial and veggie garden, while a one-car garage and private driveway provide parking for two. The gigantic basement features luxury vinyl plank flooring, tons of recessed lighting in a modern painted ceiling (with great height!) and exceptional flexibility for recreation, entertaining, a bar area, study space, or a cozy den. An additional half bath can be found down there (and you can also chose to restore an older shower to make it a full bath). Major updates include brand-new ClimateGuard windows throughout, a new roof installed in late summer 2026 with warranty, and a furnace, central air conditioning, and hot water tank replaced within the past 3-5years. Located in the East Prairie and Niles North High School attendance area, this spacious home blends character, thoughtful updates, and room to make it your own!
