Nestled in the heart of Skokie, this enchanting three-bedroom English Cottage home sits on an expansive, park-like lot, offering a rare blend of old-world charm and modern convenience. From the moment you arrive, the home's storybook facade and classic brickwork invite you into a space filled with warmth and character. Inside, you'll find rich hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and sunlit rooms that exude timeless appeal. The cozy living room, complete with a wood burning fireplace, is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A formal dining room leads to a perfectly appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances.

The lower level bonus room is currently used as a large light filled bedroom. This space also has the potential to be utilized as additional living space, ideal for an extra family room, home office, or personal retreat and has a full bathroom. Outside, the sprawling yard is a private oasis, lined with mature trees and lush landscaping-an idyllic setting for summer gatherings, gardening, or simply unwinding in nature. Located in a prime Skokie neighborhood, this home is just moments from top-rated schools, parks, shopping including Old Orchard, dining and easy access to the Edens Expressway.
