Designed for the way you live today. Clean lines, generous proportions, and thoughtful details make this light-filled Modern Farmhouse a sanctuary for contemporary living. Set on a generous, fenced-in lot in one of Northbrook's most coveted neighborhoods, this over 5,000 square-foot residence was originally purchased as new construction and has been lightly lived in by its original owners. A timeless neutral palette, beamed ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, custom millwork and thoughtfully integrated built-ins define the home's serene, sophisticated aesthetic. On the main level, a flowing open-concept layout connects formal living and dining spaces with an expansive family room and kitchen-creating a natural rhythm for both daily life and entertaining. A butler's pantry and beverage center link the formal and informal spaces, serving as a central hub for gatherings. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for cooking and entertaining, complete with a center island, breakfast bar, designer lighting, and Thermador appliances. Tucked behind French doors, a private office with custom built-ins provides an ideal work-from-home retreat. There is also a chic powder room and oversized mudroom-with laundry, built-in storage, and access to the heated and cooled three-car garage. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms and three full baths include a tranquil primary suite with soaring ceilings, custom built-in headboard and sconces, a boutique-style walk-in closet with center island, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed shower. Two secondary bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath with designer tilework and walk-in closets, while a third enjoys its own en-suite bath. A second laundry area with a wash sink and linen storage adds convenience. The finished lower level is a revelation: high ceilings and refined finishes make it feel like an extension of the main living areas. This multifunctional space includes a full gym, large recreation/media room, full beverage center, and a fifth bedroom and full bath-ideal for guests. Ample storage and mechanicals are thoughtfully integrated. Additional highlights include a whole-house generator and elevator. Outdoors, the private lushly landscaped backyard functions as a seamless extension of the living space with a sweeping lawn, expansive deck, and private patio designed for relaxing or entertaining al fresco.
