Searching for a unique home in the Glenview/Golf area that you can put your own stamp on? Look no further. 12 Briar Rd is located in the exclusive community of Golf, a tiny haven on the north shore with access to all Glenview's amenities (including Glenview's award winning schools). Known for its friendly neighbors, peaceful atmosphere, and stately older houses (one of which is 12 Briar Lane) the Village of Golf is home to just around 160 households - all with curb appeal. There are no cheap 21st century building materials here - this lovely home's stone exterior wraps all the way around the front and sides, diving into a classic brick in the back. No cookie cutter floor plan either - this home has been added onto and redesigned over the years, providing a unique opportunity for the new owners to choose from TWO primary bedroom suites, one just steps away from the front door, and one up on the 3rd level (actual height from ground is similar to that of a current day second story). Both primaries are massive and multifunctional and could serve as bedrooms OR recreation rooms. The 3rd and 4th bedrooms are nearly identical in size with convenient access to the shared hall bathroom on the second floor. The kitchen, family room, dining room, and living room all grace the ground floor of this home, flowing into each other nicely. Two fireplaces also adorn the main floor, creating multiple options for hunkering down in front of the fire this coming winter. In the basement you'll find a half bath, a rec room with a third fireplace, a storage room, a laundry room, and more. Out back you'll find a stunning oversized all wood deck for grilling, sipping wine, or just enjoying the nature all around you. Plenty of green space offers a world of possibilities. 12 Briar has spent the better part of a century welcoming visitors and residents alike to the neighborhood, and it hopes to maintain its position. Steps to Golf's very own Metra train station, Mariano's, the Golf post office, police station, and Diedrich park. We all know that homes rarely come up for sale in the small, exclusive community of Golf... so do not pass this one up! All measurements are estimated and are to be verified by the buyers. Seller and agent make no representation about room dimensions at this point.
