Dont miss out on this well-kept and loved Cape Cod in Skokies Fairview district (K thru eight). Longtime owners have expanded, updated and maintained this home during their tenure. This comfortable home has a flexible floor plan, including a formal living room with wood floors and fireplace, dining room, kitchen with custom cabinets, and a main floor family room with a vaulted ceiling, fireplace and sliders to the patio and back yard. The second floor has two large bedrooms, hall bath and a loft off the master bedroom (currently being used as an office, but could be used as a nursery or... sitting room). The basement is finished wall to wall and includes a deluxe bathroom and third bedroom and sitting room or great rec room. The roof, furnace and air conditioning are all new within the past five years and Andersen replacement windows have been installed throughout the home. Custom millwork abounds and the house has character and space to spare (almost 2000 square feet). Situated on a wide lot, there is plenty of yard space as well as a two car garage and a parking pad for two more cars. Conveniently located near downtown Skokie; with shops, restaurants, Village Hall, the library, farmers market, and Gorilla Tango Theater all nearby.

The village just had a six million dollar downtown streetscape upgrade and looks beautiful. The driving range and miniature golf venue will be complimented by a new park with baseball diamonds and more at McCormick and Oakton. The waterpark and new L stop are at Oakton and Skokie Blvd.; both close to the house. Throw in easy access to the Edens Expressway, shopping centers and abundant produce/grocery stores and you are set. Take a look and make this your new home. Show more
