223 Hancock Ave.

Endless charm and curb appeal define this welcoming brick Cape Cod-style traditional in the popular North Terrace neighborhood of Lake Bluff, conveniently located just blocks from town, train, rec center, golf course, pool and schools. The front porch invites you into the bright, light-filled interior to experience spacious rooms that flow nicely into one another. The large great room with built-ins opens to a dining room with a wall of windows overlooking the bluestone patio and fully fenced expansive backyard. Adjacent to the dining room, an updated white kitchen features a newer fridge, oven, microwave and light fixtures with seamless access to the patio through a sliding door. The flexible first floor bedroom could easily serve as a home office or den and is conveniently located next to a stylishly remodeled full bathroom. Thoughtful updates and upgrades by the current owners include finishing the basement to add a new full bathroom, guest space, large rec room, and tons of closet space and storage, plus additional improvements - refinishing hardwood flooring on the first floor, adding a new storage shed, heating the attached two-car garage and installing a new door, painting inside and out, and more. Move right in and start enjoying the relaxed calm of a Lake Bluff lifestyle!
