## Description

### Agent Description
Welcome home to this exceptional 6+1 bedroom, 5-bathroom, extra-wide residence set on a rare 50' x 150' lot in the heart of highly sought-after Forest Glen. Thoughtfully designed with refined finishes and grand proportions, this three-story home offers a seamless blend of sophistication and everyday functionality. Soaring ceilings, rich hardwood flooring, and custom millwork define the expansive living spaces, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. The chef's kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring premium Viking appliances, sleek quartz surfaces, and handcrafted Amish cabinetry, all anchored by an oversized statement peninsula-perfect for gathering and entertaining. First floor has 1 bedroom/Office suited for remote work and modern living. The second level offers a private retreat, complete with a sun-drenched lounge, a primary suite with heated bathroom floors, two generously sized bedrooms, an updated hall bath, a dedicated laundry room, and a versatile fitness space. Top floor has an office area, bedrooms and bathroom. Designed for both entertaining and relaxation, the home boasts multiple indoor and outdoor living areas, including two second-level outdoor spaces and a beautifully updated deck-ideal for hosting or unwinding in style. The fully finished lower level provides exceptional flexibility for extended living, offering a additional bedroom, a second kitchen, and a spa-inspired bath. Step outside to your own private oasis, featuring a heated pool and professionally curated landscaping that enhances the home's stunning curb appeal. Additional highlights include a 2.5-car garage equipped with an EV charger and new windows scheduled for installation in April. Perfectly positioned for convenience and lifestyle, this home is just steps from the North Branch Trail, Whole Foods, Mariano's, Metra, and local parks. Experience the charm of Forest Glen with beloved community traditions like the Easter Egg Hunt, Fourth of July parade, and festive holiday lights. This is more than a home-it's a rare opportunity to live beautifully in one of Chicago's most desirable neighborhoods. Home is in excellent condition. Sold in "as is condition".
