1722 Ivy Lane, Northbrook, IL 60062

There's a lot to love about life at 1722 Ivy Lane, beginning with a setting that's hard to replicate. Tucked into Northbrook's Heathercrest neighborhood, the home sits just next to a neighborhood pass-through leading directly into West Park-24 acres of open green space, walking paths, playing fields and recreation, with the Northbrook Sports Center, pool, ice rink, tennis and basketball courts, all easily reached through the park. The home itself has been thoughtfully updated while retaining the warmth and character that make an established home feel special. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, where oversized windows fill the rooms with natural light. The living room is generous and inviting, with custom built-ins adding character, while the family room has an easy, relaxed feel centered around a wood-burning fireplace and additional built-in cabinetry. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with a clean, timeless aesthetic, plenty of cabinetry and counter space, and a casual dining area that feels made for everyday life. Just beyond the family room, doors open to a patio and professionally landscaped backyard-a private, peaceful space made for those perfect summer days. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressively spacious primary with room for a sitting area, reading nook or home office. An extensive list of improvements, including a brand new Carrier 2-stage furnace and AC unit, reflects the care that has gone into the home over the years. Downstairs, the finished basement adds another dimension to the home, with flexible space for movie nights, a playroom, exercise area or casual hangout, along with plenty of dedicated storage. An attached two-car garage with a newly poly-coated floor and slatwall organization is another thoughtful upgrade that makes everyday living just a little easier. And then there's the location. Being able to slip out the door and into West Park without getting in the car changes the way you use the neighborhood-morning walks, an afternoon at the pool, picnics, skating, a trip to the playground or simply having acres of green space nearby. Add highly regarded District 27 schools and Glenbrook North High School, and 1722 Ivy offers a wonderful balance of neighborhood, space and everyday livability.
