This exceptional Highland Park residence offers nearly 5,300 square feet of impeccably designed living space, including a beautifully finished lower level, on an expansive lot just shy of an acre. Featuring 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across three finished levels, the home blends timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Sun-drenched interiors showcase wide-plank hardwood flooring, designer finishes, and seamless living and entertaining spaces. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with premium Bosch and Fisher & Paykel appliances, custom cabinetry, Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, and an expansive built-out pantry, flowing effortlessly into gracious gathering areas. A rare and highly desirable feature, the home offers two luxurious primary suites-one on the main level and one on the second fl oor-providing incredible flexibility for multigenerational living or the convenience of ranch-style living with a first-floor primary retreat. Designed for both everyday comfort and entertaining, the home also features a beautiful sunroom overlooking the backyard and an impressive 600-square-foot deck, creating the perfect setting for indoor-outdoor living and large-scale gatherings. Generously sized secondary bedrooms, spa-inspired baths, and a cozy lower level complete the home. With nearly every element thoughtfully updated-including the roof, windows, deck, balcony, mechanicals, landscaping, and more-this residence offers the feel of new construction in an exceptional Highland Park location within the sought-after Sherwood, Edgewood, and Highland Park High School districts.
