About this home
Set on nearly an acre in highly coveted East Northbrook, this exceptional 6,419-square-foot custom home offers a rare combination of timeless architecture, gracious entertaining spaces, and remarkable flexibility for modern living. Located in award-winning District 28 and the highly regarded Glenbrook North High School district, the home provides the space to gather on a grand scale while still offering warm, comfortable rooms for everyday life. Inside, expansive living and entertaining areas are enhanced by rich hardwood floors, exquisite millwork, graceful architectural details, and two fireplaces. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen with an oversized island opens to a sun-drenched family room, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday living and gathering. Just beyond, the charming screened porch offers a peaceful connection to the nearly one acre setting and a wonderful place to enjoy the outdoors throughout the seasons. A richly paneled library, complete with a wet bar and extensive built-in shelving, provides a distinctive retreat for reading, working from home, or quiet conversation, while gracious formal and informal spaces throughout the home make entertaining effortless. With six or seven bedrooms, five full and two half baths, the floor plan offers exceptional versatility. The spacious main level bedroom suite provides an ideal setting for a first floor primary or use for extended family, guests, in-laws, live in caregivers or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a serene retreat, featuring oversized windows, a private sitting room, and a beautifully appointed bath with marble topped dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower, with steam . Three additional bedrooms, including one currently configured as an office/study, plus a private three-room suite provide exceptional flexibility and privacy for family and guests. Additional spaces, including a wine cellar, game and recreation areas, and abundant storage, further enhance the home's versatility, allowing every square foot to serve a purpose. Outdoors, the nearly one-acre property offers privacy and room to enjoy the seasons, with a screened porch and patio extending the living and entertaining spaces beyond the home. A three-car attached garage completes the property. Homes of this scale, setting, and adaptability in East Northbrook are seldom available, making this a rare opportunity to experience something truly special. 1135 Buttonwood Lane is the kind of home that cannot be fully appreciated from a description alone. Its warmth, flow, and sense of place are best felt in person. If you are seeking a home that offers both everyday livability and the opportunity to host life's most memorable moments, this is one worth viewing....
