Wonderful flexible space in this expanded split level with finished basement. Extra large parcel, 83x131, 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bathrooms, 2 car attached garage. Enter the foyer to find open living room, dining and white kitchen with large skylight, creative lighting, fun mosaic tile splash and peninsula seating; crab orchard stone fireplace. Glass door access to above ground large deck for summer dining with directly attached gas grill included and pretty views of the extra large fenced yard. Upstairs find three nice-sized bedrooms, 2 baths including ensuite primary with skylit Jacuzzi, custom recycled glass tile in the walk-in shower and double sinks; heated towel bar. Retro hall bath has newer large vanity, mirror and lighting. Step down from the foyer to find a generous landing and access to the 2 car attached garage featuring newly installed, insulated overhead door. Here you will see that the house was seemlessly expanded to add a fully accessible, sun-lit main floor bedroom with bay window, built-ins and a private bath with heated floor, roll-in shower, separate tub and a dedicated entrance if needed, perfect for in-law arrangement or private home office. Full-sized washer and dryer within the hall closet. Step down from this landing to find the large bright rec room/playroom with fireplace, perfect for family room, guest room, art studio, hobbies and crafts, with a 1/2 bath. Tankless water heater serves the addition and the electric panel was totally upgraded in 2008. Hardwood floors have just been refinished in a light tone. 2 zones for HVAC. So many extras are included in this wonderful bright home: 2 Ecobee thermostats for remote climate control, custom window treatments, replacement windows, recently painted, and carpeted areas replaced, a New roof 2020, and New copper water service to the house 2025. Lots to love here! Close to Devonshire Elementary school, pool/park, playground, and community playhouse. Convenient to CTA and I-94 on and off ramps, minutes to downtown Skokie library and attractions, as well as a short distance to Old Orchard shopping and dining, theatres and events. House is in very good condition and sold AS IS condition only. Seller has never used the fireplaces.
