Single Family Home/House Glenview United States

Room to Breath and Steps from Everything. Set on .9 acres of beautifully private grounds, this 2006-built Arts & Crafts home delivers something increasingly hard to find: space, serenity, and a tranquil pond, all just a short stroll from downtown, the train, and shopping. It’s a rare combination of true privacy and everyday convenience. Inside, 5+1 bedrooms and 4 baths unfold across an open floor plan that flows effortlessly from quiet family mornings to lively entertaining. Windows are everywhere, drawing in natural light and framing serene views of the garden, yard, and pond from nearly every room. The craftsman character is unmistakable-timeless architecture paired with the flow and function today’s buyers crave. A gracious foyer welcomes you off the expanded front porch, anchored by a stunning staircase that connects all three levels. The sun-filled living room opens to a dining room wrapped in two walls of windows and finished with elegant French doors. At the heart of the home, a custom kitchen pairs warm cherry cabinetry with a built-in breakfast nook-the natural spot to gather. Just beyond, the family room invites you to linger, with a gas fireplace and a handsome built-in wall of shelving. A first-floor bedroom with full attached bath offers easy flexibility as a guest suite or private home office. Upstairs, a striking library with custom shelving showcases books and family treasures, while the expansive primary suite becomes a true retreat with its own sitting area and spa-like bath. Three generously sized bedrooms share a hall bath, and a stackable laundry keeps daily life simple. The fully finished lower level adds remarkable versatility-a large office, rec and game room, second family room, craft room, additional bedroom, and full bath. Outside is every bit as inviting. A screened-in front porch is made for quiet mornings, while the expansive back deck is built for gatherings of any size, all overlooking your own private, parklike setting. Beyond the property line, the neighborhood offers a genuine sense of community, with a pond for fishing, two playgrounds, and generous open space throughout. Where else can you find this much private land and a home of this size, all just steps from town? Opportunities like this simply don’t come along often.
