2271 Congressional Lane Chicago's North Shore, North and Northwest Suburbs Home

The feel of new, the airy space of contemporary design, the actual space to accommodate a growing family and a desirably-convenient location in Riverwoods noted Thorngate area combine in this pristine 5-bedroom Devonshire model featuring two full baths and two half baths. Lush landscape lines the walkway to the front door and porch-style entry of this delightful two-story treat. Inside the two-story foyer with ceramic tile flooring leads to all main living areas of the home. A formal living room is on one side. It opens through an arched doorway and half wall with arched opening into the family room that spans half of the back of the home. Its built-in gas fireplace and media niche are visible to the living room and also to the kitchen and breakfast area which overlook the family room, separated from it by a half wall. The huge kitchen is a true delight with an abundance of cabinetry, a center island, lots of counter space, a pantry closet and a large expanded breakfast area that opens out to a lovely grand deck sheltered by dense trees and landscape. The view is both lovely and inviting. Only steps from the kitchen and also located off the foyer is the separate formal dining room with lovely architectural columns accenting the entrance. An additional main floor office provides great convenience as does the large main floor laundry room, attractive powder room, and large 2.5-car attached garage. A dual-sided stairway leads up to the bedroom wing. One side opens from the foyer and the other from the kitchen and family room area. The upstairs is a real treat, complete with a huge u-shaped foyer that is open and airy with view of the main floor foyer, stairway and living room below. The large master suite is at one end. It features cathedral ceilings, a palladium window, large walk-in closet, double-door entry and lovely spa bath. The deluxe bath provides a whirlpool tub, separate shower and commode, dual sinks, volume ceilings and an abundance of counter space. Four family bedrooms, each with a double closet and a large hall bath round out the upstairs living spaces. The huge full nine-foot basement on the lower level is fully finished. It provides a large recreation or media room with a wet bar and double doors leading to a game area that is easily suited to a pool table, card table and more! The game area is adjacent and open to a bonus area with built-in cabinetry and shelving that is readily suited for use as a mini-kitchen, crafts area, second wet bar or exercise center. A second powder room makes this a great spot for entertaining, children’s play, teenage parties and more! Lovingly care for and maintained to perfection, this appealing 10-year young home is in the Deerfield School District with easy access to highways, trains, golf course, forest preserves and parks!
