535 Old Green Bay Rd

This home has it all! It offers character, lifestyle and the functionality of a new home. This home has been completely renovated (2012) and expanded for today's lifestyle with all of today's amenities. An inviting front porch welcomes you to the home with a charming porch swing. 11' high ceilings, custom millwork and moldings, detailed window casings, and rich hickory wood floors are just some of the special features that were preserved and carried throughout the home. The beautiful eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry, an oversized island, high-end chef's appliances, and beautiful views of the backyard from the breakfast table. First floor living spaces offer wonderful entertaining opportunities including the original living room with wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, the dining room with floor to ceiling bay windows and a built-in serving buffet with wine cooler, the generous family room at the center of it all, and a tranquil four-season sunroom. The first floor office is ensuite and has a fabulous walk-in closet so it could be used as a 6th bedroom. An elegant mahogany staircase leads upstairs to five large bedrooms, three generous bathrooms and a fantastic laundry room. The primary suite has a double walk-in closet, a beautiful bath with separate vanities and access to a fantastic deck overlooking the professionally landscaped half acre yard. The lower level adds a recreation room, a surprise kids' playroom (or expansive storage), and a workout room (or potential additional bedroom) plus a full bath. Relax or entertain outside on your bluestone patio and in your professionally landscaped and private yard - there is plenty of space to build your dream pool! And... a 2.5-car detached plus a 1-car attached garage provide ample space for cars, bikes and storage. This majestic home sits only steps from vibrant downtown Glencoe's shops and restaurants, schools, the world-class Writers Theatre, Metra train, beautiful Lakefront, and numerous parks. The Chicago Botanic Garden and Ravinia are just a short bike ride or drive away as well. Come live your best life in this fantastic slice of the North Shore!
