About this home
Set on three-quarters of an acre of beautifully manicured grounds, this home is a true escape for anyone who loves spending time outdoors. Freshly painted throughout, this 2,742-square-foot Colonial offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, hardwood floors, and a 3-car garage. Inside, generous room sizes set the tone: a formal living room and dining room for entertaining, an eat-in kitchen that opens to the patio and fenced yard, and a paneled family room warmed by a fireplace and wet bar - perfect for cozy nights in. First-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite with private on suite bathroom and walk-in closet is joined by three more spacious bedrooms with large closets and a full hall bath. Downstairs, a finished basement rec room and abundant storage round out the living space. All this within the Everett school district, just minutes from the Metra and close to everything Lake Forest has to offer - a rare blend of privacy and convenience. Come see this beautiful property for yourself.
North Shore, located between Evanston and Lake Forest, is a residential and lakeside Chicago neighborhood with leafy ravines and a shoreline park system. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Metra stations and village centers along Green Bay Road, where independent cafes, bookstores, and small galleries line walkable blocks. Writers Theatre and the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts anchor the cultural calendar, while the Chicago Botanic Garden sets a seasonal rhythm just beyond the lakefront. Streets of brick Colonials, Tudors, and mid-century homes sit behind mature trees and stone walls. Lake Michigan beaches and the Green Bay Trail shape daily routines with long, linear outdoor corridors. Commuter rail and lakefront drives connect the area to downtown without changing its quiet, curated pace.
