1250 Mount Vernon Terrace Chicago's North Shore, North and Northwest Suburbs Home

SOLD - March 2007

Located on a serene cul-de-sac with a grassy common area and large trees off a quiet side street, this stately 9-room, 4-bedroom, 2½-bath Colonial is a rare find with a one-of-a-kind setting! The approach to this lovely home is dotted with majestic mature trees and the columned and covered entry, offset by lovely lush landscaping, makes this property one with truly great curb appeal! The ceramic tile entry foyer opens to the spacious bright living room which features windows at the back and front, natural oak floors and access to the adjacent formal dining room, a great design for entertaining with ease and comfortable family living! Located between the updated kitchen and the living room, the dining room has views of the backyard, great oak floors and built-in corner china cabinets. Glass fronts add detail to enhance the classically inviting dining atmosphere. A doorway leads into the updated kitchen with views through to the adjoining family area. At one end the kitchen breakfast room provides ample space for a comfortably large casual dining table – serve a few or many here! At the opposite end and near the back of the house you’ll find the kitchen’s activity center complete with updated cabinets, corian counters, recessed lights, newer stove and separate broiler, tumbled-marble backsplash and a ceiling fan. The family chef will never feel alone here! The spacious adjoining family room with its brick fireplace wall and exterior access door to the patio and yard can be viewed and enjoyed from the kitchen as well. Off the kitchen in the foyer hallway is an updated powder room with pedestal sink and leaded-glass “porthole” window! Stairs leading to the second floor bedrooms are also located here. The second floor, all newly carpeted in a light neutral tone has a big master bedroom suite with ample room for both a desk and sitting area. A large dressing area separates the updated full bath from a huge walk-in closet. Three large family bedrooms are truly big enough for two. The center bedroom features its own walk-in closet and the other two corner bedrooms have sunny windows on two sides! The hall bath is centrally located to these three rooms. Two floors below is the full basement. Finished with a huge English-style recreation room, this area is substantial providing space for multiple activities simultaneously … anyone for ping pong and pool? You can do it here! Add to all of this an attached two-car garage and a fabulous quiet location within two blocks of Westmoor School, only a short distance to downtown Northbrook’s conveniences including easy access to trains, highways and shopping -- a home that puts it all together! Don’t miss this can’t-be-beat treasure!
