French inspired Villa Turicum beauty! This much loved home is perfectly sited on .88 wooded acres, high on the lot. Step into the inviting foyer with traditional staircase and glazed brick tile floor (in herringbone pattern). The large formal living room spans from front to back of the home, with pretty floor-to-ceiling windows, wood burning fireplace with marble surround and traditional mantle. The separate dining room has oak hardwood floors and tall windows; it's an ideal setting for dinner parties and family gatherings. The family room features a beamed ceiling, brick wood burning fireplace, oak hardwood floors and French doors that open to the patio. The sunny kitchen is expansive with large eating area and bay window. All four bedrooms are on the 2nd level. The impressive master suite expands from front to back of the home (above living room) with cozy sitting room and two spacious walk-in closets. The laundry was moved to unfinished (full) basement, yet there is laundry hook-up in the first floor mud room. Seize this wonderful opportunity to own a quality home in this idyllic Villa Turicum location, very close to Lake Michigan, bike trails, Metra train, restaurants and excellent schools! It is lovely as is, yet worthy of expansion opportunities.
