Charming Cape Cod set far back from the road on an extraordinary private lot of nearly an acre, offering endless potential-move right in, renovate to your taste, or take advantage of the rare oversized parcel to build the home of your dreams. A circular driveway welcomes you to the property, while mature landscaping and a coveted west-facing backyard provide beautiful afternoon light and a spectacular setting with room for a pool, tennis court, or future expansion. Built in 1941 by architect Peter Mayo of the renowned firm Mayo & Mayo for his own family, the home reflects thoughtful design and enduring charm. Inside, a welcoming foyer and sweeping staircase set the tone. The spacious living room is filled with natural light and anchored by a fireplace-ideal for entertaining. A handsome wood-paneled library with an adjacent full bath offers flexibility as a first-floor bedroom or private office. The formal dining room is surrounded by large windows overlooking the lush grounds. A vaulted family room addition provides a cozy gathering space, while the bright white kitchen enjoys wonderful backyard views and opens directly to the paver patio, with ample opportunity for future expansion. The private primary suite is accessed via stairs off the mudroom, while two additional second-floor bedrooms and a shared full bath are reached from the front staircase. Additional amenities include a mudroom, lower-level recreation room, laundry area, and attached two-car garage. Ideally located with convenient access to Northfield shopping, restaurants, parks, and expressways, and just minutes from highly regarded Middlefork Elementary, Sunset Ridge Junior High, and New Trier High School. A special property offering privacy, history, and unlimited potential-move right in or bring your vision and make it your own.
