Home Details for 370 Briar Lane

Some homes look far better in the photos; then you enter and they are a disappointment. The photos hide poor layout. This home is the opposite. Until you walk the home, you cannot appreciate it's beauty, privacy and exclusivity - from the ceiling height, the sunlight that floods the home and the beautiful flow of the layout, the privacy of the yard with room to expand - build a pool or pickleball or tennis court, to its position as the second home off a private lane. This is an opportunity to acquire a truly special, dramatic home. Everything about its construction - from the brick and stone exterior to its double height foyer and living room and its position on a choice lot that is deeply wooded and nearly 1/2 acre - is excellent. It also possesses the attributes that buyers seek - lavish master suite; substantial back yard that feels private, and an overly large basement that does justice to every man cave dream! Underlying all is a design and layout from an experienced builder with care and attention to detail throughout. From the moment you enter the home there is a feeling of beauty, elegance and comfort. Rooms and staircase seem to be exactly where they should be to create a flow for everyday life. Luxury touches you'll appreciate: the impressive 20' ceiling height with coffering; newly finished paneled library, main floor bedroom, wrought-iron fixtures and elegant staircase with tweed wool runner overlooking the living room and showcasing two wings of spacious bedrooms on the second floor (with four ample-sized bedrooms up); expansive Italianesque kitchen with custom plaster walls, Italian stone floors, warm golden brown cabinetry and an ample bay window that seems perfectly designed to fit a round dining table for up to eight and looks out onto the trees and landscaping. The indulgent master suite is an oasis where you can turn off the day's noise and relax. From the wet bar and the adjacent bonus room which is perfect for unwinding or working if you're a night owl, to the lavish master bath that far exceeds the standard soaking tub and separate shower setup to include extravagances such as expansive vanity tops and cabinetry and for total privacy - his and hers closets and toilet rooms. Exterior bonuses include landscaped yard, newly paved driveway, underground sprinklers, outdoor lighting system, many beautiful, mature trees and a Vivent camera security system. Add to this: An "A" Location with easy access to the expressway and shopping; a quiet lane where homes rarely hit the market, an easy walk to grade school and your choice of high schools in either Deerfield or Highland Park. Agent-owned. Showing Saturday; Sunday open.
