About 29644 N Birch Ave

Fabulous opportunity in The Sanctuary of Lake Bluff to own this charming, light-filled, turn-key home, nestled quietly on the eastern edge of the neighborhood with beautiful pond views. This idyllic area with access to Lake Bluff Beach, provides a calm, serene setting complete with walking trails through nature and a lovely neighborhood park. Step inside & enjoy newer hardwood floors that carry you throughout the first level. Vaulted ceilings greet you at the front door & connect through the grand staircase to the light-filled family room where floor-to-ceiling windows make the space absolutely glow. Open to the cook's kitchen, enjoy the perfect meal prep layout showcasing stainless steel appliances and beautiful hardtops. There's plenty of space for a large kitchen table with pristine backyard views. With dining open to the living room, this is entertaining done right, providing space to roam or relax with family and friends. First-floor laundry -- right off the powder room -- with a high-end washer/dryer combos doubles as a mudroom, straight through to the large 2-car garage. Hop up the stairs from either the front or the back of the home with ease, with fresh carpeting underfoot that carries through four generously-sized bedrooms. The ample primary bedroom comes complete with a walk-in closet and large bathroom featuring a separate shower and soaking tub. All the touches are here, including updated paint, newer recessed lighting and chandeliers and fixtures throughout. The home exudes character, even in the English basement, where gathering, gaming and entertaining plays out in a space that feels more like a great room. Light pours in from the east-facing windows. A wet bar area provides guests with a kitchenette (they'll love the full bath, too) and there's even a tucked-away office at the opposite end that's perfect for work-from-home needs. Step outside to your deck overlooking tall trees and the pond with a play space that's just the right size. Green and inviting, it's a sanctuary all its own! The location can't be beat with highly-regarded Lake Forest High School, nearby shopping, top-rated golf courses and quick access to I-94 and major roads in all directions. Come see it before it's gone!
