1270 Church St.

Contemporary charm and designer appointments are the hallmarks of this stunning, 8500-square-foot, single-family home in Northbrook. Sitting pretty on 2/3 of an acre, boasting all the polish of a custom-built home, 1270 Church Street stuns upon approach thanks to a warm brick facade, peaked rooflines and perennial landscaping. Inside, an open-concept 6 bed/7 bath floor plan gracefully unfolds, beginning with a formal foyer that introduces the home's flawless finishes. The entryway links to an elegant living room with a marble-faced fireplace and exposed beams, and a handsome WFH study. Nearby, a spacious dining room finds definition from crown molding, custom window treatments, antiqued mirrors and a gilded chandelier. Made for elevated entertaining, the home's great room features a white chef's kitchen with shaker cabinets, Emtek hardware, Miele appliances, a walk-in pantry, a marble/quartzite-topped island, and a more casual, eat-in dining space. The great room also encompasses a lovely family room-and links to an epic back deck with outdoor TV and grilling station, and a huge private yard with mature trees. Upstairs, accessed via a central staircase that leads to a light-filled gallery hall, five bedrooms present all on one level, including a spacious primary suite with a private balcony, a designer dressing room and an enviable ensuite with two sinks, a makeup vanity, a standalone tub and a walk-in shower. The fully finished lower level enhances an already impressive footprint with a cozy media room and wet bar, a posh wine room, a playroom, a massage suite, surplus storage, and yet another ensuite bedroom for extended-stay guests. Inheritable design details throughout include custom draperies, RH statement lighting and bespoke wallcoverings. Additional luxuries include a pretty powder room, a bonus office, a three-car heated garage, a proper mudroom, a solarium-style exercise room, a second-floor laundry and Control4 home automation. With close proximity to Northbrook's endless activities-the pool at Meadowhill Park, the Tuesdays In the Park concert series at Village Green Park, the bike path at Techny Prairie, and more-not to mention walking distance to the area's top-rated schools and first-class restaurants, 1270 Church Street is a fabulous forever home for the family that wants it all. This home is mere blocks from the Metra stop...25 minutes to downtown Chicago via the express train and 25 minutes from O'Hare International Airport, the best of all worlds is within reach.
