But that's not all, Located a few blocks from both Greeley Elementary, Award winning New Trier High School, and the Metra Commuter train, life could not be more convenient. Add to the mix a lovely, updated character-imbued, French Normandy home with updated kitchen, nicely appointed and light filled living room and family room, genteel library, large 2 room primary suite with new bath and 3 additional bedrooms, each with its own private bath, and you have the perfect combination of understated elegance and resort-like life style.

The dining room is a charming space to commune and share stories with friends over a good meal with wainscoting and a graceful chandelier. Large, good looking and well -organized, this updated kitchen knows its way around food prep with 2 stainless steel sinks, great counter space and a 42" Subzero fridge. Four inch marble tile backsplash and white Caesar stone counters give the space a fresh, clean look. Cooking is a pleasure when you have a 6 burner Viking cooktop with griddle and double Gaggenau convection ovens. When dinner is done, clean up is a snap, simply load all into your efficient and quiet Meile dishwasher and relax. Adjacent to the kitchen is the heart of the home, a large sunny family room with vaulted ceilings and sky lights.
