Real Estate For Sale, Northlake Illinois

Live the American Dream in this 4 bedroom, 2 and a half bath traditional two story home! Huge kitchen, awesome family room with fireplace, skylights, vaulted ceilings, fireplace, read all the details below...

This full rehab was torn down to the foundation, only the stairwell was left; and we poured additional foundation to make way for the family room.

This one of a kind is on the best street in Northlake! Great area to raise kids and enjoy a wonderful neighborhood. Roy grade school, Mannhiem Middle and West Leyden HighSchool.

The house is brand new, all studs, drywall, electrical, plumbing mechanical is brand new. The entire house was torn down except the stairwell. The roof has 30 year architectural shingles and nice long horizontal ridge venting through the attic. You won’t see those metal square vents that most houses have or a chimney. This is because this house was built to be energy efficient and save money in the long run on utility bills (scroll down the other “Mechanicals” section for details).

All rooms have white trim for the windows and baseboards. We also installed white six panel colonial doors and of course white trim and molding. Even the closets are white six panel doors like higher end new construction. You’ll notice no carpeting on the first floor which makes cleaning easier, but carpet has been installed in the bedrooms to keep things cozy and warm.

This home has a 2 car garage, above ground pool and a shed. The nice thing is that this house sits on a huge lot 66x153 unlike any new construction home on the market. This isn’t your subdivided lot with no backyard or lacking privacy. This is a beautiful large Northlake lot in the best part of town in Roy school district.

A beautiful front door with glass panes and a side light will great your guest onto a tile foyer with a coat closet.

New Hardwood floors and a large bay window make this front room a great entrance for family and guests. This room is perfect as a formal living room but can also be casual by adding a television.

This larger then normal kitchen has beautiful Merillat Custom Oak Cabinets and more storage capacity then new construction. Along with all the storage space the cabinets provide, there is a Lazy Susan and a pantry for additional convenience. All appliances are 6 years new and well cared for including a built in GE microwave with exhaust. Ceramic tile was installed for easy cleanup and maintenance.

There is also outside access to the backyard from the kitchen via a door with a large window that has mini-blinds inside the glass!

Casual dining

Right next to the Kitchen and peninsula is the casual dining area for everyday use. Ceramic tile from the kitchen flows into this eating area as well. Currently there is more then enough room for the table that seats 6 adults (not including the peninsula).

Family room

The back of the house we poured new foundation to make way for a 16x16 family room with vaulted ceilings, skylight that opens, gas/wood fireplace and a sliding glass door to your beautiful deck over looking your huge back yard.

This room’s main purpose is for casual everyday television and family time. It’s a large enough room to place a large TV or even a flat screen above the fireplace! Nice natural wood like floors, the vaulted ceilings, skylight, windows and white trim allows this to be the most enjoyable and airy room in the house for the family to spend their evenings together.

Formal dining room

The formal dinning room has beautiful laminated wood flooring and can serve many different functions. Designed as a formal dining room, it is currently being utilized as a kids play room. This can easily be a teen’s media room, office, or exercise room.

First Floor Half Bath

A half bath serves the first floor guest and family members. A nice pedestal sink and window gives this room a feeling of freshness. Ceramic tile from the kitchen flows into the bathroom as well.

Mud room

Also known as a laundry room contains enough room for a larger washer and dryer. The furnace and hot water heater are also in this room.

Stairwell & Hall

The stairwell is original and we opened it up by adding a skylight and chandelier. It serves as the access point to 4 large bedrooms and a full bathroom.

Master Bedroom & Bathroom

The master bedroom has a beautiful casement window facing south. There are 2 closets in this large room, one is a nice size walk-in and the other is a standard size closet. The bathroom has a shower stall and the tub is a whirlpool jacuzzi. There is also a small linen closet in the bathroom for your convenience. A window allows light and natural air into the bathroom. As an additional benefit, there is a vent fan and a built in heater above head for extra warmth in the winter. The bedroom, the walk-in closet and bathroom each have their own hvac vents unlike most homes.

Full Bathroom Upstairs

The second full bath is upstairs with access from the hallway. This bathroom serves the other bedrooms on the 2^nd floor. It has oak cabinetry, neutral ceramic tile on the floor and in the shower. There is a large vanity and an oak linen closet for extra storage. The best feature of this bathroom is the skylight which always brings in natural light and gives the bathroom a more open atmosphere.

Second Bedroom

Nice size bedroom for kids; this room has a large double hung window, closet, ceiling fan and of course white trim! Large enough room for a teen!

Third Bedroom

This is also a nice size bedroom with closet, ceiling fan, double hung window and white trim. Great kids room and big enough for a teen.

Fourth Bedroom (currently used as an Office)

Mechanicals

The furnace is a 90plus, meaning it’s the most efficient furnace available for residential construction. This furnace doesn’t even need a chimney like most furnaces, it vents out the minimal amount of carbon via pvc piping. This allows you to make sure that for every dollar you spend, less then .10 cents goes out due to an inefficient furnace. An AprilAir humidifier is also built into this furnace to add humidity into the whole house during those cold and dry winters. Adding humidity will make the house feel warmer just like humidity makes you feel hotter in the summer! So the built in humidifier allows you to save money!

The 65 gallon hot water heater is also energy efficient and large enough to meet the demands of a large family.

All bathrooms and faucets have been set up so that running a faucet or flushing the toilet doesn’t affect the person taking a shower, no sudden temperature change.

The electrical is all 200 amp, even the electrical to the garage and pool.
