THERE'S MORE TO THIS SKOKIE HOME THAN MEETS THE EYE! Step inside and discover a home filled with character, comfortable living spaces and an incredible connection to the outdoors. The main level features two bedrooms and a full bath, a bright living room with hardwood floors and wood-burning stove, separate dining room and galley kitchen. But keep going because one of the home's best surprises is tucked away at the back: a spacious family room with hardwood floors, a dramatic stone fireplace and sliding glass doors opening to the large deck and backyard. It's the perfect setup for everyday living, entertaining and enjoying the seasons. Downstairs, the finished basement adds even more usable space with a large recreation room, third bedroom, second full bath, additional flexible space, storage and a convenient exterior door leading directly to the yard. And what a yard it is! Fully fenced and surrounded by mature trees, this outdoor retreat features established wildflower gardens, apple and pear trees, plenty of room to play or garden, a storage shed and multiple areas to relax and entertain. A new detached 2-car garage with party door and covered patio complete the package. The location makes everyday life easy, with the CTA Yellow Line less than a mile away and convenient access to neighborhood schools, parks and recreation, Skokie Public Library, shopping, dining and everything Skokie has to offer. Warm, welcoming and anything but cookie-cutter, 8146 Lowell offers the space, character and backyard that make a house feel like home.
